UDMA under Win2k

DJ
Okay, this is my one little problem with Win2k (other than no Banshee drivers that work properly), I can't get UDMA working! I have a board based on the ALi 1531/33 chipset with a M5229 Bus Mastering IDE controller.

Cisco 605

sheared
Anyone have any information on the status of the drivers for the Cisco 605 for Win2K? I know Intel purchased the card from Cisco, but while talking to US West one tech (who seemed somewhat in-the-know) said people were able to get the 605 to work under Win2K.

SuperMicro P6DBS UWSCSI not working

Dragon-Lord
YuppieScum, You have the same mobo as I do, yet I cannot get the Dual UWSCSI chip to recognize under the OS (it only shows as Unknown PCI device). Is there a driver, or procedure I need to know about it? Or has my motherboard chip gone kaplooey? :}.

3Com U.S. Robotics ISDN TA Terminal adapter

mickbench
Does anyone know if a 3Com U. S. Robotics ISDN TA Terminal adapter (External) works in W2K with the supplied USB Cable. The Hardware compatible list says it works, but doesn't state if this was using the USB connector.

Directx 7 and 7a

Ballplayer
Ok this has been driving me crazy. I didn't think it was possible to have directx 7a running in windows 2000. However, several people have said that their directx diag says they are running 7a. Mine only says 7.

AMD CPU's and Win2k

Bka32
Everytime I check the CPU speed in any program, including MS System Info, they report it to be running at 266 or 226 mhz instead of what it really is running at, 450 mhz. Could this possibly be affecting the performance of the system or any of the applications I may run? Or is it just some screw up the MS geeks did ...

Win2k and ATA66 drives...

Mike V
I have two IBM 20gig ATA66 drives. I have used them in Win2k with two different ATA66 controllers, the HotRod 66 (HPT366) from Abit, and the Promise Ultra66. The Promise does seem more forgiving and has been around longer, but that isn't the problem.
