Good question Clyde. I can answer this one.

In the past inetl INF were renamed to prevent sysprep issue. When you use sysprep, duplicate filenames create issues. So I asked Jaak to rename the intel driver. Later I discovered that renaming INF could break driver signing so it was decided to leave the driver intact. So right now in 9.01 you see both situations, If I could find the original driver for I2 and I1, I would put those back with their original file names.

As Overflow pointed out, as it is right now It will work just fine but for esthetically it would be nice If someone could post a link of the original drivers.

the entries in mass storage INI are for txtmode only...
and txtmode does not use the infs... so waht they are named is not relevant

Renaming the .inf files should not break driver signing. So you should be fine there. Overall, it doesn't matter. Just a further refinement of an already great dp.

In working with the MassStorage DriverPack v9.01, I was wondering about a couple of the Intel drivers.

In the "D\M\I3" directory, should the file "iastor.inf" be renamed as "iastor78.inf"?

In the "D\M\I4" directory, should the file "iastor.inf" be renamed as "iastor86.inf"?

I am one of the many who has a large number of Dell Optiplex GX620's in their environment and am always having issues with the Intel driver updates.

Thanks,
