I have a BX133-RAID motherboard and am trying to plug a fan into the fan2
header but it is not working. I vaguely remember seeing something about a
BIOS fix for this?? I have slept since then.

no bios fix that I am aware of. the fan headers are hard-wired to power but
the traces are small and not able to carry any significant current. if you
have the fan plugged onto the header but are not getting anything, and you
are sure the fan is in working order, I'd say that you have an open trace
feeding the fan header and the header is dead.

not all is lost though because they do make an adapter harness to connect a
fan to the regular four-wire drive harness connectors.

Oh?

Overe here I wanted a stronger fan on the CPU. Volcano type but
the connections were wrong so we split the power connections on
the fan and cut into one of those larger hard drive type power
connections and now the fans at full throttle.

Is there a better way ?

Oh I disable the powersharing software in win 98 as I have no
use for it here.

P.S. I still have intermitant times where the hard drives disapear.
The case is on a bench with the hard drives plugged in. It seems
time after time if I reboot from a cold computer I have to wiggle
power cables to get the computer to see the drives on boot up.

CDRW, dvd player, two 80 meg drives (first set of ide posts 1 and 2)
4 gard drives in the raid connections. Not setup as raid though.
Just using the ports.

there are tons of accessories for controlling the speed of fans on older
mobo's that do not have bios level speed control. they also make harnesses
that go from the 4 pin connector on the hard drive power plug down to the 3
pin connector that is typical for most fans. most CPU cooler sites carry
items along these lines.
