So, I have a Win98/XP machine that sits around for playing older games, and recently the HDD bit the dust. I have been seeing a lot of retro builds going towards SD and CF cards. I basically just want input on what route I should go based on my hardware.
Athlon XP 3200+
MSI K7n2 Delta-ILSR (Has onboard promise RAID controller with SATA)
512MB DDR-400
XFX 5900XT
So my question is this, what route should I go for storage?
IDE > CF Adapter > CF Card
IDE > SD Adapter > SD Card
IDE > SATA Adapter > SSD
As far as I know, the PROMISE controller doesn't support booting from the on board SATA for Win98. Any recommendations on adapters/cards/disks? This isn't a dual-boot system, I plan to swap cards or disks as needed.
