Topic: Why do folders M\N\4, 4INTEL, 123, 590LSI exist when TM is only used?

When the mass storage drivers pack is extracted, the following folders exist for nVidia mass storage drivers:
M\N\4\I
M\N\4\R
M\N\4INTEL\I
M\N\4INTEL\R
M\N\123
M\N\590SLI\I
M\N\590SLI\R
M\N\TM

The DriverPack_MassStorage_winnt5_x86-32.ini only references/uses the M\N\TM folder.

Thus, why do all of the other folders exist?

hi,

they exist for PnP.
Bâshrat the Sneaky told me Nvidia provide a TM driver to make things easy.
(Their other drivers are a maze.)

Incidentally, in the latest TEST Packs (exerimental in Mass storage forum) we have four new folders in Nvidia, and also three extra Nvidia sections in INI.
One folder got removed.
I removed N-590SLI drivers from the pack (they had no INI section) because the new additions covered it.
(no, they was not an update for 590sli..)

Two driver versions with support for AHCI mode and Raid support got added.
Because of overlap in the INF I could write only three extra INI sections. I chose to use the one with most PCI HWIDs..

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.
