I'm working on a 486 - all ISA system that is using an I/O controller w/

its own BIOS.  Win95 does not recognize this device.  It works
intermittently w/ the CDROM drive (IDE) yet appears to work fine w/ the
HD (so far).  Device manager shows the yellow encircled exclamation mark

next to the IDE/ESDI controller.  Have I any chance of finding a driver
for this device (no markings on the board)?  Is there such an animal as
a universal driver (like we have for ATAPI devices)?  Must I use an I/O
board w/ on-board BIOS (were the I/O boards w/o on-board BIOS only
available for VLB)?  Finally, even if I can find another ISA I/O board,
do you there'd be Win95 drivers available?


TIA
