GreenMachine Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I am in the process of updating my SATA driver collection. I have created a rudementary TXTSETUP.OEM parser, and generated a "clean" TXTSETUP.OEM for XP only for each of the drivers I have in my current collection.If you have any CERTIFIED drivers, with a .CAT, .SYS, .INF and TXTSETUP.OEM files, please email them to me at the address in my signature.Attached is my current colection of generated TXTSETUP.OEM files, sorted into directories by Driver File name, and then by Driver Version.Your help is most appreciated!DRIVERS.ZIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 C'mon, you cheapskates. Not one measly driver? Don't make me go on stike ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 so you want to go on stike do ya?well when I get home later, I'll compare file versions with what I have, and send you any that are newer and certified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Now we're getting somewhere!I'm interested in ANY versoin that I don't have, regardless of whether I have a newer version. Surpisingly, there are quite a few differences in the different versions, as far as PnPIDs supportes, actual hardware names, etc. For example, both the FASTRAK and the ULTRA drivers can be used on the same hardware ... sometimes. Then there are FASTRAK versions that only support some PnPIDs, and other versions that support other hardware. In short, a big mess. I wrote a small tool to help me clean up the files, parse out the relevent info, and do the majority creation of a new, P only TXTSETUP.OEM.So, please, SEND ME YOUR DRIVERS, ONE AND ALL!Thanks, Alanoll!(I'm nasy when on stike, be carful!)

Alanoll Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 you have of course gotten a copy of RyanVM's lated build of drivers from 5/20? Always a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 I have a copy, but I would like each driver in it's virgin format ... I check out each one, and add it to my collection. His collection is missing the TXTSETUP.OEM files, the main file I need. I also do have at least one version of most of the certified drivers he has.

DerRickster Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 what about SCSI Drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 So ... this is going to be a Little Red Hen kind of deal? "Who will help me eat my bread" ...I would appreciate a hand here ... you have been warned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I can definitely attest to the fact that many drivers for the same products DON'T always work. I've seen numerous cases with various Highpoint/Silicon Image controllers where older drivers work fine and newer ones cause BSODs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fczajka Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I at one point of time was quite the expert at intergrating "Mass Storage Drivers" in Windows NT 4.0 having created my own custom PXE build system for DOS/OS2/WindowsNT-2K. The main problem that I bumped into and am quite cetain is still the chalenge is the Driver Version of the specfic card has to match up with the Firmware version of the card. Dell Perc Raid controllers are very famous for this. Once you get past that point (by stating this Driver needs this Firmware version) it is not hard to automate untill you bump into the infamous file name conflict. Which can be overcome, but requires hacking and then you off in a quagmire. Hope my ramblings help...//FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 sorry for not sending mine....I only use two, and they're the UltraATA Promise Drivers, and teh VIA RAID .220 drivers.BOth of which I believe you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 Send 'em anyway. The point is the difference in versions, so I'm internested in as many as possible.
