IBM PC340 - Secondary IDE port not present after Windows 95 reboot
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM PC 340 Series 6560 with Windows 95 installed may not recognize any IDE devices installed on the secondary IDE port on the system board after removing the IDE controller from the Windows 95 Device Manager and rebooting the system.
Problem Isolation Aids :
If the IDE controller is inadvertently removed via the Device Manager in Windows 95 and the system is rebooted, the Install Wizard may not properly detect the secondary IDE controller on the system board. Any device installed on that port, whether configured for Primary or Slave, will not be recognized.
Viewing the IDE controller via the Device Manager will only show the presence of one IDE controller (Primary controller single FIFO).
Fix :
A fix has been developed to allow Windows 95 to properly identify the IDE controller on the PC 340 system board. This file will prevent this failure from occurring and restore the secondary controller in systems that are exhibiting this symptom.
