From: Dennis Pack on
Hectorg:
The Promise 378 driver 1.00.1.39 was the only driver that
Promise has released for x64. It covered the Fasttrack 378, S150TX series
and TX4000 chipsets. During the x64 beta the original driver worked on the
early versions but not the later versions and the updated driver became
version 1.00.1.39. After testing the driver from Asus I found that it won't
install as you indicated. Go to http://www.promise.com/, download the driver
for the FastTrac S150 TX4. Unzip the download, ignore the bios file, open
the "fts150tx_windrv_amd64_v1.00.1.39_with updated INF.zip" file, copy
contents to a floppy. This driver works on my SK8N mother board with the
Promise 378 controller. The version on the Asus site is the early version
without the updated .INF file. Sorry about the delay in posting the proper
drivers but I'm not running raid on that system anymore and had to find the
proper driver file.
