IBM PC300XL/IBM IntelliStation M Pro - CD-ROM seen as 3.5" diskette in 6588/6888 setup
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 300XL Series 6588 and Intellistation M Pro 6888 systems may show a 3.5 inch diskette drive instead of a CD-ROM drive as the third IDE device in the systems Setup Utility. This problem occurs if the CD-ROM is installed as the MASTER drive on the SECONDARY IDE port.
Problem isolation aids:
Access the Setup Utility by pressing F1 during the memory count. Select "Devices", "IDE", and view the third device. The image on the display gives the appearance that the third device is a diskette drive.
The displayed image in the Devices, IDE area of the Setup Utility does not affect the function of the CD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM drive is displayed correctly when viewed in the System Summary section of the Setup Utility.
Fix:
This problem will be resolved in future releases of the 6588 and 6888 Flash BIOS levels. Flash BIOS levels above NEKT04A (BIOS Level 4) will contain the correction.
The updated Flash BIOS may be obtained from the IBM BBS at 1-919-517-0001 (enter country code), or from IBM via the Internet at the following URL: http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/files.html
