Chipset Drivers for WinNT

[boogwar]

Hello all,

I have an ASRock 775i65GV motherboard with the Northbridge: Intel® 865GV / Southbridge: Intel® ICH5 chipset. This chipset is SATA capable. I'm putting together an AVID NLE system with this motherboard and a Truevision Targa 2000 RTX video capture board. Instead of going SCSI, which is expensive for me, I have a Western Digital 80 Gig 7200 SATA Drive which has much better throughput than what was originally designed to work with this card. However the AVID MCXPress program is Mired in Windows NT, won't run on anything else; the drivers for the board are likewise dependent on WinNT 4.0 Workstation. My problem is this; the hard drive is stuck in PIO mode, which means I'm getting throuput measured in Kilobytes, not megabytes, and it is really frustrating as I cannot find the Chipset drivers for NT. If anyone out there can point me in a direction for drivers or provide workarounds I'd be most grateful!

Chipset?

Or SATA drivers?

UNIATA:

should support ICH5 on NT 4.00....

...of course your mileage may vary....

I have found no "Matrix Storage" for "Nt 4.0" at

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

maybe they existed and were all removed, maybe not.

UniAta was designed exactly for that purpose, and originally for Nt4.

They didn't work immediately on W2k and I had BlackWingCat's alternative, so I didn't insist.

I understand they work only in IDE mode, not Raid nor Ahci - probably no Ncq then, which is a pity.

Alternative solution: add a SiI3124 host on the Pci.

This one has Sata3000, Raid, Ahci with Ncq (very important for performance) AND NT4 drivers including F6.

On the ich2 Pci, throughput is >130MB/s.

3124_x86_win32_base_logo_13016.zip => Driver 1.3.0.16 for Nt4, no Raid,

use with Bios 6.2.17 Raid or Base = 3124_x86_bios_6217.zip there

Got my used ones from pcland2008pcland2008 at eBay.com

$10 +shipping $15 to Europe

he had >10 pieces, sold 3, didn't relist them for sale.

I would tell his eMail through the private mail here.
