I've had absolutely NO luck getting ANYTHING to run with XP-64. No
network, no sound, etc. Nothing that's on the included driver CD will
work and, yes, I have gone to planet 64 and downloaded the network
drivers, etc. none of which seem to work?
I tried them too but I think the driver is for RAID (fasttrack). I have it
set for SATA. I had XP64 running on a PATA drive.
I'm VERY tempted to send back the board and chip and install DOS 5.0 on
a 386DX-25 system, I know that works.
Well I'm having a bit more luck since yesterday. SuSE 9.0 x86_64 works fine,
but without sound. Fedora Core 2 (test) has the sata_promise drivers but
I'll have to wait for the x86_64 port. I just stuck in a Realtek 8139 and if
I really needed sound I guess I could find a standard PCI sound card.
However, I refuse to give up my SATA drive for an PATA. That is the big
stumbling block to getting 64bit processing. That and apps.
There isn't a Windows SATA driver so WinXP-64/2003-64 will have to wait.
There is no doubt that the 32bit o/s work just fine so I'll keep my board
and dual boot until the drivers and apps start coming.
