BonesDT Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 After switching from "Native" to "Legacy Mode" in the BIOS, I successfully installed iATKOS S3 10.6.3 on a Dell OptiPlex 745. However, the 745 has one of those Broadcom ethernet cards that don't seem to have a working driver for. So I'm now trying to install it on an OptiPlex 320, which looks like it has a more normal ethernet card, which should work. However, the BIOS screen lacks the Legacy Mode option, so I don't think I can get the Install DVD to boot. Can you install Legacy Support to a BIOS somehow? Or am I just screwed, it's either built into the motherboard or it's not? (I'm too lazy to post specs right now, I'm assuming this can be answered w/o them) OK, here's some specs. The 745 had: Intel Core 2 Duo Intel Q965 (ICH8) BCM5754 Ethernet (can't get to work) The 320 has: Intel Core 2 Duo ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 Pro "Integrated Broadcom Ethernet LAN solution 10/100 LOM with Remote Wake Up and PXE Support" I also have access to a 330 with: Intel Pentium Dual Core Intel G31 (ICH7R) BCM5787 Ethernet (which I couldn't find a driver for either) and a 380, which I need to get the specs for.
