If you check in prefs, you can alter environment variables and choose a PIO mode for your HD.

Otherwise, get a SIL card.

There should also be full docs of the various UBoot variables which control the built in IDE in SYS:Documentation/IDE/a1ide_dev.doc

Best regards,

It's not SiL, but SiI (lower case i followed by upper case I, it stands for Silicon Image). And the card which is relevant here is the SiI0680, which is an IDE controller.

So the HDs to attach to it are regular IDE ones, just like on the built-in interface.

The advantage is that the driver and controller work with DMA in the XE.

There is of course also a .doc file called sii0680ide_dev.doc.

Best regards,

Niels

But the guy I bought it from was using it as a parallel
Port do I just switch settings in uboot to serial

Sounds like you have the right card. It should have sockets similar to the ones on the motherboard.

This is what you need, and what the SiI680 card delivers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA

(The newer standard which is in the X1000/X5000 and the Sams, is SATA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA - that's not what you want, unless you fit a SATA card like the SiI3512 or similar.)

Best regards,

Niels

When you write "in uboot", I assume you mean the UBoot prefs program in Workbench.

No, you should not switch to serial, the PATA or IDE, which is what SiI680 gives, is a parallel standard.

E.g. if your "Second Bootsource" used to be "Onboard VIA-IDE Disk", change it to "Parallel SiI IDE Disk", save, then do a full reboot.

You should now be booting from the hard disk connected to the SiI680 card (if otherwise configured correctly).

Best regards,

Niels
