Go to the Promise web site and download the last TX2 Ultra 133 BIOS and
driver for your card and that may be all there is to it. I recently did
the same for my TX2 Ultra 100 and saw a definite improvement in
performance. @:D>

It runs fine until I put in a Promise TX2 Ultra 133 with drives.. This
PCI Promise TX2, with it's drives, was working fine in the previous
board, I pulled it out, put it in the MSI and hooked up two PATA drives.
The PC POSTs, all be it slowly, but then it won't boot, even to a floppy.
I see all the drives, everything appears to be normal, I have no errors,
it just ends up at a flashing cursor. Or in the case of a floppy I see....
"verifying DMI Pool Data"
..... and then it hangs.
If I remove the drives from the Promise, but leave the Promise in the
board, then it boots. It doesn't matter what hard drive is plugged into
the Promise, if there is a drive in either channel, it won't boot.
However If I install a single LiteOn DVD R/W into either Primary or
Secondary channel on the Promise ...then it boots.
I am using all PATA and have SATA and RAID disabled. I have set up boot
order correctly.
Everything appears to be OK. What am I missing.
