Erik, the 7.09.1 Graphics B is already finalised.

Like you said, the DELL specific files can seriously add a humongous amount to the DP, and the updated embedded was so new it got in the way of so many other HWIDs... (even the old embedded version was kinda iffy)
I figured the fix had to be published asap.

nog een tip.
Doe ook altijd QSC
Ook al zegt Base dat dit enkel aanbevolen is voor method 1, is het beter dat je het ook doet voor method 2.

Hey...
Wait a minute.

you used an OLD CD with the OLD drivers on a card with the NEW BIOS, and it worked?
Could you verify that please?

You see, if that is the case, should the SFX_MiniPacks not be the other way round?
Make the DriverPacks have the old driver, and make the newest available in a MiniPack.
(it is an older driver, but it works on old and new bios equipped cards... The newest driver does not work on older BIOS equipped cards, and integrated chips cannot be flashed to newest BIOS anyhow.)

??

hi
new txtmode drivers will usually not be enabled for 2000 (2000 has a memory limitation.)
Is this for a server OS?

hi

doe driverpacks als laatst.

En, in verband met SFC.
Gooi de winntupg folder NIET weg.
(Als die folder weg is, en je installatie klaagt over een bestand dat vervangen werd, dan vindt SFC die folder niet en begint te mekkeren.)

Hi

notice the sound download.
scratch that > Far as I can make out, this one has a fix for the front/back stuff. < not true

edit> release notes for sound XP mentioned mute.
the VISTA driver seems to have a solution  about front/back, though.

Mass 7.09 is up

WLAN is for tomorrow.
The changelog is almost ready.
However, supported device list requires a lot of work because WLAN needed Big Time checking and major overhaul.

[..EDIT..]
I said JakeLD was GOOD news.

JakeLD (Jonathan) and his brother are guys what come out of corporate blue sky.
I am impressed by their speed and (yes, we need more qualified testers..) quality.

The private "limited" Quality Assuranse checks I could do on JakeLD's work make me think he is good news.
I can share all my knowledge and prove me dumb.
I will not be so dumb that I do not share my questions.

FYI. All team member wannabees are required to submit real life adress and details to admin.

Hi,
I think I found the reason.
a fix is in the works.

Hi Jimbo,

I wish we could make the driverpacks DETECT the BIOS, but unfortunately, we can't.

The mass storage section for Silicon Image driver which causes the BSOD says this

[S-4]
; driver 04/13/2007, 1.3.68.2 for BIOS 4.x.84.
; replace S-4 section if you replace driver with SFXzip.
; keep SFXzip files

------------------------
The adaptec driver in section [AD-9] lists only the last two of five HWIDS.
(the first three were removed from the ash1205.INF)
%PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112.DeviceDesc%=SI_3112, PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_31121095
%PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112.DeviceDesc%=SI_3112, PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_34238086
%PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3512.DeviceDesc%=SI_3512, PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3512&SUBSYS_35121095
They were removed because they are also inside [S-4] (for both old And New BIOS) and the Silicon Image driver would win over the older ash1205.

These two were kept in ash1205.INF and AD-9 section.
%PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3512.DeviceDesc%=SI_3512, PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3512&SUBSYS_34238086
%PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_02509005.DeviceDesc%=SI_3112, PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_02509005

Since the device YOU have is one of the three inside the Silicon with the "bad" BIOS, you have to replace the S-4 driver with the SFX_MiniPack.

the file you need is
http://driverpacks.mirror.thesneaky.com … S_4x79.exe

You will need 7zip.

comment.

I cannot say whether the older driver for older BIOS works on matching HWIDS detected in machines with newer BIOS.
The OLD and NEW driver for S-4 have massive overlap
(the NEW had maybe only 4 Unique, all the other were duplicate HWIDs, which means I could NOT put BOTH in).
If ANYONE knows for sure that the OLD driver for silicon works on NEW BIOS, then I can do something.

history repeats itself..
packs are unavailable.

hi
Have uploaded the work I could do today.

Hi JakeLD
I have worked on a little script we can use for MONITOR pack.

Requirements
SED.EXE

this got me all the supported models straight from the INF files
(and, it makes it possible to spot duplicate INF files which have different content)

pretty much based on the HWIDs fiter script chud posted, and which I adapted to our needs for HWIDs.
(a version for screening *.OEM files is also in the works. )

for the HWIDs
I am still looking for a way in which I can be sure there are NO commented out lines in the CSV.
The comment ; is always at the beginning of a line, but I am looking for help by a SED expert on this.
PLUS, I am looking for a way to only delete the dupes when THREE values are true
only delete the dupes when
The HWID AND the foldername AND the Inf_filename match.

anyway, here is
-----------------------------

scan_MONITOR_INF.cmd
