DS3 SATA Ports recognize DOS?

[WickedWeasel]

Regarding the Gigabyte DS3 motherboard

When an IDE optical drive is connected, DOS does not see the optical drive unless the files from gs_cdrom-update
is added to the boot disk.

If the program gs_cdrom-update is NOT installed, and I boot up with a Win98SE boot disk
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q1: will DOS see the SATA hard drives connected to the Orange Ports?

Q2: will DOS see the SATA Optical drive ( eg. liteon 16A7S) connected to the Orange Port?

Q3: will DOS see the SATA hard drives connected to the Purple Ports?

Q4: will DOS see the SATA Optical drive ( eg. liteon 16A7S) connected to the Purple Port?

I'm interested to know if it would be worth it to spend a bit more on the SATA optical drive to get full functionality by just booting up
with the Win98SE standard boot disk. I don't want to overwrite those original files with the gs_cdrom-update files.

I need DOS to retrieve ghost images from the SATA optical drive.
