PCI ATA/IDE card issue revisited

[Timothy Domst]

The last thing I see is "DMI pool data....." after the card BIOS goes 
back to the motherboard BIOS.

I emailed the support for the card and they said there is no way to get 
into the BIOS.  I emailed Gigabyte and they said the motherboard is 
probably broke.

I should have bought a P3 motherboard instead of wasting money trying 
to work with the old one.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
