How nostalgic? I remember my first IBM; I couldn't help myself tearing into it weekly, sometimes even after school learning and playing with the hardware. Those big ass 16 bit and 8 bit ISA (I pronounced ee-sah) were so much fun to tinker with. I would take the entire system apart just to put it back together! Man, that was a time when hardware REALLY meant HARD-WEAR! LoL!
How is programming pci? Create driver and manipulate them with file? Much more difficult than isa operations Is it because of window ? Is it easy to operate in dos?
They say 8 bit XTA HD cards for the IBM clones can work in a 16 bit ISA slot since they are backwards compatible. Is this correct? I can't get the BIOS on the card to be seen by a PII i440 chipset or the SSTOR DOS program either. It is seen on the 8 bit AMSTRAD PC1512SD using SSTOR. SSTOR claims it isn't connecting to the BIOS chip on the card.
Generally yes, some cards might not like the 8MHz bus speed that pretty much all AT clones and newer have. In your case there might also be software conflict between both BIOSes. Try disabling the internal IDE controller, that might help.
This is the kind of enthusiasm I expect from an IT expert
I appreciate this video a lot, thank you for uploading this. It helped me with my homework.

Great video!
Before the IBM, there was the S-100 and a few other homebrew/kit computer busses in use.
