I want to attempt to install the parts needed to get the "Optional" on-board IDE Interface working on this motherboard which I bought a few days ago. Specs can be found Here. Looking at the attatched photo, the place for the missing IDE header is visible as well as the place for an SMT Resistor Pack (the silk screen RP5 is hidden by the shadow of the ISA connector). Also, traces can be seen connecting some of the pins of the IDE header to RP5.
My Question is, what value of Resistor should be used here? Would 1K Ohm do the trick? Or should I use a higher or lower resistance? Also, would a Resistor Pack with Isolated resistors would be appropriate?
