Well better late than never....
I tested the driver with a Windows 2003 Server based BartPE and it didn't work.
Sorry for the late reply, my final kept me busy.

there was some confusion about whether it worked with 2k3 or not
if you could test it that would be awsome!

It is based on Windows XP at the moment. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
If you like I can build a Windows 2003 Server based disc to test this as well.

Just finished building the BartPE Disc and ran the first test on the hardware.
The driver works absolutely flawless. Thanks again for your great work and the fast response.
I really appreciate it. You guys rock!

Hi Der-Matze
Welcome to Driverpacks.net and thanks for being here.
It's awesome to see a first post from a user with such good details.
HWID, description of the device, method used, pack version, trouble shooting you did,
[REQ] in the title, posted in the correct forum, and a link to the driver.
I almost fell out of my chair! Woot!
I also agree - you have found a driver that is not included in the packs.
Thanks for taking the time to make your request and doing it so well.
I hope you continue to contribute here.
have a great day and keep your eyes peeled for a test pack to show up soon.
PS be sure you click on the subscribe button (subscriptions on this forum are sadly not automatic).
you have already included your relevant HWID no further info is required (unless its the wrong HWID )

Thanks for the great welcome. I feel very honoured.
I am currently building the new BartPE Disc and will inform you as soon as possible if the new Driverpack works.
Thanks everybody for taking care of this. You guys do a tremendous job. Hats off.

@ echoplatoon.
sorry.. 8015 is in testing, and it is based on misnomer 803.
(the misnomer was that 801 became 802. but it should have been 8011. a fix in In january.).

8015 has every folder 803 had, and one extra. [D1]
8015 has nulled via miniIDE in [v3]

Nullled means, mscount was set to zero.
This is is perfect for TESTING. By Nulling it we do not use it for TXT mode, and can reenable it PDQ.
That miniIDE driver in \V3 can be important to PnP, and in TXTmode it most probably wreaks havoc.

IDK if it does or doesnt for sure because i don't have the the hardeware for testing.

the inf contains these references.

;[DriverFiles_9X]

[DriverFiles_NT_2K]
fttxr5_O.sys,,,0x20

[DriverFiles_XP]
fttxr5_O.sys,,,0x20

;;;[FilterDriverFiles]

many times 2k3 will use XP drivers but not always so i errored on the side of safety

feedback is required - anyone with this hardware care to try 2k3 and report back?

@Overflow: That is weird because the description on Promise's website says the driver is for Windows XP/2003.

This is from the description on Promise's website:

This is the updated release and Microsoft WHQL Logo driver for Windows XP/2003 (32/64-bit)
- fixes auto-rebuild from free disk
- change default setting of auto rebuild from spare to spare and free disks.

since the name of the file is unique teh tag name should be the same as the original file name
we only change the tag name if it is a duplicate name.

so ms_1_tag="pf4310"

should be

ms_count=1
ms_1_deviceName="Promise FastTrak TX4310"
ms_1_tag="fttxr5_O"
ms_1_sysFile="fttxr5_O.sys"
ms_1_hwids="PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3515"
ms_1_isBusExtender=false
ms_1_exc_disableIfOS="w2k"
ms_1_exc_skipIfOS="2k3"

We already have too many drivers for 2000 -
to enable this one for use with 2000 we must pick another one to disable or we will get memory errors
ms_1_exc_disableIfOS="w2k"

this driver does not show support for 2k3
ms_1_exc_skipIfOS="2k3"

nice work - mass storage is a tough pack

I just did a search for the INF and SYS files in the directory of the MassStorage DriverPack nightly and there are no duplicates for either.

@Jaak: Here is the driver. It is pretty much set to be put into the DriverPack. I did a search for each of the HWIDs for this in the INI file of the current MassStorage DriverPack nightly and didn't find anything with the same name. In the 7-zip file, there is a "for_INI.txt" file in there for the INI entry. I gave it its unique ID and it is only six characters long so it is compatible with the standard. Also did a search for the unique ID and found nothing with the same name. I had it skip if the OS is w2k, since this driver is only for XP and 2k3. Please just review it to make sure there isn't something I missed. Thanks.
