Absolutely agreed, however, with any Text Mode drivers I'm sure nLite will slipstream them, else they wouldn't work during the installation

Anyway, OptimusBob, just extract the MassStorage DP and point to that path in nLite.
It should then catch the INF files and add the drivers in TextMode (it will tell you so).

I guess that's what you are looking for.

Just so you know: if you slipstream the DriverPacks using nLite, it's not a true slipstream. Things such as method 2 and more importantly the DriverPacks Finisher will be completely missing then, which may have as a consequence not installed control panels or other exceptions.

Mass storage Textmode INF file for use with nLite driver integration

I love the driver packs and the ability to boot from these additional mass storage devices. I have used Driver BASE after using nLite without a problem. I have also integrated driver packs using nLite without a problem. But I would like to be able to integrate mass storage textmode drivers using nLite, and not directly with Driver BASE. If I can I prefer a one-stop-shop to process integration all at once. So, I am asking for either a separate Mass Storage textmode driver pack or a way for Driver BASE to generate an INF file. Either way, I want to use nLite to integrate the mass storage textmode drivers.

FYI, when you use method 1 it does not store compressed files (i.e. driver.sy_) on the CD, nLite does. It is not as compressed as a .7z file, but it is much better than no compression.
