I did download and install the XP driver from Nvidia. ReSetup my Display using the Control Panel and all is well again. Now I can install my SCSI card in the lone PC slot and have my Nikon LS4500AF Film scanner back online. Also will be looking at SAS features on my motherboard. I have been able to make SCSI work for the last 10 years but am not sure about the SAS SCSI feature on my Intel MB. S5520SC. Not to run on but I underestimated all the things to do once I had my New Computer, clone, built and up and running. I am sure the SAS SCSI feature will not be the end of it. But at least I know what programs and software are on the computer. Thanks again Bob AZ

They seem to say you don't have integrated SAS ports; but, the drivers section lists SAS RAID support. Drivers and everything are on the website above. Just have to click on the 'software downloads' section. That is a NICE motherboard. It looks like it may have cost you a bit. It has 12 DDR-3 memory slots. It is classified as a workstation board; but, it has the features of a powerful server board. James

When I finally got everything lined up the original board had been dropped and the S5520CA appeared to be the replacement. I do like the 12 memory slots since DDR3 bigger than 1GB is not readily available where I live. I do make a lot of decisions based on spare parts being readily available since when using my computer for photography a breakdown is expensive. At present I have 4 slots in use. Will add the other when I get a few more things going. The video problem is OK now so the SCSI thing needs addressing. I looked at the Adaptec site and it seems that the AHA2930CU is out for 64bit. So probably another SCSI board is in order. Not sure which one so will bug Adaptec about what to get hold of. Has to be PCI I think. I also need to make my way past Nikon to get a 64 bit driver for my scanner. There is a 50 pin SAS Module slot. Not sure how to use it or where to ask. Perhaps Adaptec has the module. Hopefully not a fortune. Will have to look in on that. Take care and thanks for the assistance. Bob AZ |
