Hi Experts,
I'm using so old classic thinkpad T43p with SATA modded.
When I modded it's HDD interface from PATA to SATA, there's no problem.....
before I got Intel's SSD
I searched several thing to improve my system's disk I/O speed,
reached to the result : SATA AHCI mode & NCQ.
T43p's ICH6-M (82801FBM) supports SATA AHCI mode & NCQ..... but it's not supported by BIOS.
(there's no SATA port when this machine released to market.. but now, SATA SSD works well with lowered speed)
I tried to mod BIOS without bkgnd knowleadge, converted my T43p to brick.
(I tried to recover BIOS several times..... but failed to recover)
I replaced to dead Mobo to another one, it works now.
Can someone make AHCI-enabled BIOS for T43?
No setup configuration menu needed just make the ICH6-M running with AHCI mode
[Notebook Info]
Brand : IBM/Lenovo T43p
