trying to install a new HD on a quantex PII 400 system for a friend and , it keeps looking for the PCI bus,drivers probably for the Mb, but of course I don't have the MS 6119 Cd, and win95 doesn't seem to have them either.. any sugestions.
I quess I may have to upgrade him to 98 or ME , but didn't really want to do it that way...and I'm not really sure 98 or ME has the drivers either...???
 
Check the chipset. That's the drivers you probably need, not drivers from the mobo manufacturer. I hate 95 too though. I am about to slap my old copy on a system I managed to pull together for my sister though. It's only got an 85mb hard drive that I salvaged from an old 386 (her processor is a K6-2 366 though). With a very minimal installation and IE 2.0 (what 95a comes with) I figure she should be able to play around on e-bay and use AIM and whatever I can fit on there (I'm connecting her machine via a crossover to my brother's machine so she can access the net via a proxy server I've got running on that one). But I'm going OT . . . .
 
Thanks Mcmorden,
I finaaly figured out that the primary IDE was intermitent, when I rebooted it couldn't read the C: drive sometimes, so I put a new MB in it and Win98se and its all running except the ensonic audio card can't load midi waves or something like that, and when playing a DVD movie the sound is real low.
gonna change the audio drivers or card and get it otta here by saturday so I can work on my other systems... 🙂
thanks for the response, hope you system works Ok...
 
Just a tip, if that ensoniq card is based on the ES1370 chip (most of them were before creative bought them out) then you can use the Sound Blaster PCI64 drivers for it. It's based on the same chipset (and reference design) and those drivers provide a little more functionality. More or less a free upgrade (though you're not getting that much more. just newer drivers and some more software midi voice and the like).
 
it is a 1370 chip card ,and I already used the 64 drivers from ensoniq
but I get an annoying midi wave message evrytime It boots up, and the DVD sound is real low, maybe its some thing to do with the Diamond 1000 DVD decoder card?
 
Something about not having the sound samples? Is that the message you're getting? I'll check my account at work via ftp as soon as I finish typing this(a lot of 200mhz Gateway machines we were working with had those ES1370 cards). If it's still there I did have the 2mb version of the midi samples which would give you a working patchset. The 4mb and 8mb versions are better if you can find them, but I just kept the 2mb version b/c in the work environment midi quality really wasn't that important. I'll let you know if I find that patch.

EDIT: Yep, that 2mb set was right where I left it. I can email it to you if you want.
