| 1168388 | 2011-01-10 23:29:00 | Is SATA\AHCI enabled on your eSATA drive? or just running IDE emulation mode? Ah yes of course, running IDE emulation mode, so I suppose one would expect dos to run ok :) |

| 1168390 | 2011-01-12 01:14:00 | Is SATA\AHCI enabled on your eSATA drive? or just running IDE emulation mode? This time I enabled AHCI via registry and BIOS and MSDOS 6.22 still loads ands runs OK on a SATA drive. :clap One small problem was the computer seemed too fast to run Memmaker, it kept rebooting too quickly before the changes had been made, so memory optimisation would need to be made manually. |

| 1168391 | 2011-01-12 01:36:00 | That's interesting. Perhaps DOS is so old it ignores the differences and works anyway? I think your reboot problem has something to do with new HDDs with large caches, the cached data would not be written to the platter before the power went off. |
