Ive put the 3112A back in now and its booting at least but im back to square 1 and it only works in PIO mode 4.
The card posts like:
Sil 3512A SATALink BIOS Version 4.3.83
Copright etc........
1 HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-
But here's the weird thing, the chip it uses is HT27c010-70 which is a 128KB EPROM but its OTP only so it cant be flashed.
My 3112A can be flashed though!
Should I buy yet another SATA PCI card ?
I never knew installing an optical sata drive would be so difficult.
