  Why not try adding a PCI IDE adapter? It will

With an Award 486 BIOS v1.01, this machine doesn't have PCI slots.  In
fact I doubt that it would even have VESA Local Bus (VLB) slots.  I
would make a wild assed guess that this is a reworked 386 motherboard
with 7 ISA slots, 3 of which are 16bit and one of which has a
proprietary 32bit ISA extension for use as memory expansion.

How close did I come, Kurt?

I don't know exactly. This machine was bought used and I am only just
starting to learn things about it.  I wish I could be of more help.
