SiS/Win PCI IDE drivers

[JerryinHouston]

I amusing a Jetway 720BF MB with SiS 620 chipset and W98SE. Actually the MB works pretty well. The original installation put SiS PCi IDE drivers in master, primary, and secondary. The users guide recommends replacing these drivers with Windows drivers for "added functionality". 1) What added functionality? 2) Do I really want to do this? 3) How do I do this?

You don't need to do this, but, you may have to in order to use DMA for the hard drives.
Boot to safe mode, remove the PCI IDE device drivers from device manager, restart, and when prompted, add the drivers from the windows CD. Cheers,
Jim
