I have an AT7 MB with an ATAPI ZIP 250 drive and a Toshiba DVD ROM drive off of the Via PCI IDE controller on the secondary channel. This MB has the Via 686B/VT8233 Southbridge. I have had problems with my Zip drive hanging up or slowing down my Win2k system.
Therefore I have installed the Via IDE Miniport Driver and the latest IOMegaware for the zip drive, since these are mentioned in FAQs as a solution to the Zip ATAPI problems. I am now reading differing hardware instructions between the Abit site and the Via site regarding the hardware setup of devices off of this secondary IDE channel once these drivers and software have been installed.
