Hi,
I am trying to use these drivers with the RTM Vista release. I have
downloaded the latest drivers version 1.3.67.0 dated 11/19/2006 and have
upgraded the card bios to the latest 4.x.79 firmware. I have put the driver
folder onto a usb memory stick.
On my pc running XP I run the Vista setup and it presents the drives on
which I can install, when I click on one it shows a message saying I need to
install drivers for the raid controller and so I browse to teh memory stick
folder. If I select the folder and return it doesn't show any drivers in the
listbox as though it cannot find any compatible drivers. I then untick the
checkbox that says show only compatible drivers. It then shows a whole series
of lines (about 20, half for 3112 and half for 3115), when I select a 3112
line it still states it cannot find a compatible driver.
I cannot get further than this. Can anyone help, do these drivers actually
work with the RTM release as the SI website claims?
Thanks
Permjeet

I am using a drivers version dated 2001 that works fine. I have also run
into problems with the newer drivers.

And, I install them from a floppy - though it shouldn't make a difference.
