Maybe giving up on it is the right thing to do. I've an Intel D845GEBV2
(P4 & 845GE chipset) which won't detect more than 2 drives, detects a
CDRW but not on primary slave, detects a 40 pin cable as 80 pin, doesn't
see a KB if connected via a KVM, and has generally wasted a lot of time.

I've just checked the spares box and found an Asus CUSL2-M, but it has
an i815 chipset like yours and doesn't see drives (incl 3Gb), boots from
CD but not HD, etc. Sorry.
