Topic: [REQ] New ITE IT8211 Controller v1.3.3.0

[REQ] New IT8211 Controller  v1.3.3.0

http://www.station-drivers.com/telechar … s.com).exe


By the way the ITE IT8211/IT8212 ATA RAID Controller driver from 03/09/2005,1.7.2.0 to 08/04/2005,1.7.2.4
is not for the ITE IT8211 Controller but only for the ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Controller

I'm actually interested in having this updated myself since I use a couple IT8212 ATA Raid controllers. Any possibility?

Just a heads up if interested:
The drivers for the IT8211F, IT8211AF, and IT8212F Raid controller are all found here on ITE's website: http://www.ite.com.tw/software_download … nload2.asp

Thanks, tenchi103.  I already downloaded the drivers from the first link in this topic, made everything to go for the DriversPack, and sent everything to Jaak.  Are the drivers in the link you posted newer than the drivers found in the first link posted in this topic?

Re: [REQ] New ITE IT8211 Controller v1.3.3.0

The raid driver we have is same as latest at the ITE site.
I doubt we need the ATAPI driver for txtmode.

kinda weird to see that station-drivers.com has included iastor files with their ITE atapi driver.
I need to be convinced about the need to have this in for TXTmode.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Actually I included the link for the IT8211 drivers. I'm new with HWIDS but comes in two flavors: the PCI version and the Motherboard integrated version. (IT8211AF and IT8211A respectivly) I'm looking at the HWIDS and I believe I only find the Motherboard version HWIDs at Station Drivers site?

hi, the PCI and mobo drivers are exact matches. not one byte different.

Re: [REQ] New ITE IT8211 Controller v1.3.3.0

show us how you did it, and what issue it solved.
The atapi driver for ITE has a lot of extra HWIDs, but, a lot of overlap.

the raid driver is backward compatible with IDE/atapi, and if we try put atapi in the mass storage INI, there is a good candidate for creating a problem because of version newness.

An example, Via raid currently has viamIDE in the pack, which is NOT in the mass storage INI, but solely for PnP.
Some users liked that, other user reports problem.
Vendors use same HWID for different modes, and when different BIOS settings still show same HWID to TXTmode.. your raid array could go B7.

everyboby here want to avoid BSOD.
you tell us more detail, we may find a workable solution.
we've already established DriverPacks cannot be a universal pack.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.
