This is really interesting. The installer really refuses to install IAA2.3 on these systems, but the driver itself recognizes PIIX, PIIX3, PIIX southbridges and what's real surprise, IAA2.3 package contains hidden INF file for these chipsets:
[INTEL_HDC] %PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1230.DeviceDesc% = DUAL_GOOD_IDE, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1230 ; Device ID for Intel PIIX (DUAL_GOOD_IDE) %PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7010.DeviceDesc% = DUAL_GOOD_IDE, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7010 ; Device ID for Intel PIIX3 (DUAL_GOOD_IDE) %PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7111.DeviceDesc% = DUAL_GOOD_IDE, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7111 ; Device ID for Intel PIIX4 (DUAL_GOOD_IDE) %MF\GOODPRIMARY.DeviceDesc% = GOOD_IDE, MF\GOODPRIMARY %MF\GOODSECONDARY.DeviceDesc% = GOOD_IDE, MF\GOODSECONDARY
Does anybody know if there are any problems with these older chipsets and IAA? I tried to install it on older BX board and everything looks fine so far. This results in two benefits
- 48-bit LBA support
- real disk names in Device Manager (not DISK TYPE47)
Any drawbacks or compatbility problems?
