Anyone know how to solve the
"No BIOS32 extensions present.  This release still depends upon it.  
Sorry."
"FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077
 SCSI: 0 hosts
 SCSI: detected total"

I am wondering whether I should buy a new IEDE controller card.  The one 
I just purchased works in conjuction with the old IDE controller card to 
allow my second IDE hard disk to use the full 1 Gig.  The instructions 
say it will replace my old BIOS.  The new IEDE card is for a 16bit AT.  
Is there a 32 bit IEDE card that will plug into an old 486 ISA?
 
I hate to spend any more money, until someone can assure me what an 
BIOS32 extension is.
