PCI-1225 card reader

[POD]

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to get a Texas Instruments
PCI-1225 card reader to work in Windows XP. It is detected and detects
a flash card okay, but it says the card is of an unknown manufacturer.
Yet when I use an Addonics USB card reader, it works fine. I would like
to use the internal one if possible so I am assuming that it is a driver
issue, but I cannot seem to locate one.

Are you sure the driver for PCI1225 is not built into WinXP ?

Open the Device Manager and see if you can see the Cardbus bridge there.
Do "properties" and check to see what driver files are installed.

I had a look around, but on a laptop where the PCI1225 was supposed to be
present, there was no driver available. That is why I'm guessing it is
built in, and could well have been available for any OS after Win98.

The TI web site lists the PCI1225 as obsolete, meaning they don't make it
any more. I downloaded the datasheet, to get the enumeration. If you're
curious about the device, the datasheet is here. The enumeration is
104C AC1C .

To get more help, it might benefit another responder, to know the
brand and model number of the flash card.

MAY be this one might work (?):

Thanks, but I tried that one; it just takes me to the Microsoft update
page and tells me there is no updates to install.

Thanks anyway.

Well, the driver for the hardware itself seems to be installed, but for
some reason it will not load the proper driver for the flash card that I
am installing as it says it is an unknown manufacturer. Maybe the card
reader is just too old then.

Another remote possibility. Is the flash card too big, capacity
wise, for the reader ? Sometimes, reading devices only work
up to a certain size. I'm just guessing here.
