Hi !

I'm looking for the best possible drivers for my poor A7V333r.
The raid controller is Promise PDC20276 (FastTrak133 lite).
Asus site's drivers are very old. Promise site's drivers are
very old. I found drivers "2.0.0.35" on the Net, but I've heard of
people using versions like "2.0.0.39" or "2.0.0.41". But I can't find
these newer drivers anywhere. I even try other brands site (same
controller on other motherboards (Abit, etc)). No luck.
A little help will be great !
Thanks.

Why not use the hacked drivers and bios that turn it into full raid.
Even if you don't plan on using an array you would at least be able to
put optical drives on the controller.

Because I can't find them anymore. The "lumberjacker" site I
used to visit is now closed (or they moved). I can't find anymore
their enhanced drivers and bioses... What a pitty.

I'm using the lumberjacker full UDMA bios and driver on my A7V333,
Win2k, latest update. They are not the latest but work fine for me
without any problems. Let me know if you want copies.

Asus should put you on the payroll.
