I have an 865GV ICH5 chipset. There is SATA ehanced mode yes/no and that's it in the bios. You can map SATA to primary or secondary IDE, but that's all you can do.
I tried saying YES to SATA Enhanced mode and primary for IDE mapping SATA to Secondary, didn't work in 98se. I could see about getting a PATA DVD RAM drive or even a PATA CD drive or I suppose I could trying plugging in a USB drive.
