Re: [IMPL] Dawicontrol Drivers
I thought it may be interesting to note the actual controller chips, which could indicate possible generic driver (not BIOS! - risk of 'brick') updates for Dawicontrol RAID controllers. Serendipity occurred, instead. Silicon Image, for example, has no drivers newer than 2010. The Dawicontrol drivers & BIOS are from 2011. Note that this is only theoretical, and yet to be tested.

* note: these drivers might work with generic cards (probably BIOS dependent, though - only update BIOS if you're willing to risk 'bricking' your card!) & include the 'Virtual Processor' driver
** note: latest BIOS seems to be SiI-based???
*** note: Wikipedia notes 'Product Alerts' that may or may not have been solved long ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Image
I will attempt to test with a generic SiI680A-based RAID card (time permitting - & time is tight for me), since the BIOS is socketed & i cannot 'brick' it. I note that the Dawicontrol BIOS is 128k in size, as is the SiI BIOS, even the PnP-ID at the EOF is the same. The key used to enter the RAID BIOS Utility is different. (F4 with Dawicontrol BIOS)
This could prove to be a nice update to my PnP-ID-modded SiI680A BIOS v3.4.00. I would assume that the original SiI DOS-based BIOS-flasher would be necessary for this update. I wonder if the RAID monitor will work, too.
If only there were 'motherboard'-based RAID BIOS' available from Dawicontrol.

Re: [IMPL] Dawicontrol Drivers
no luck with a cross-flash on a generic board with SiI680A reference design. no post (1 beep)
