A7V333 v1.02 w/RAID
LumberJack 1016 Pure UDMA Bios
XP2400+
1GB Samsung PC2700
Windows XP SP1 and all criical updates

I've tried several times now upgrading the Promise RAID drivers from
v2.00.1020.40 to v2.00.42 (off the Lumberjack site) and each time after
rebooting, the RAID controller in Control Panel/Device Manager has the
yellow exclamation point and I have to "rollback" the driver to get it
working again. I read somewhere that v2.00.42 fixes a burst transfer
rate issue, so that's why I am upgrading.

Anyone using this BIOS and had any luck upgrading the Promise drivers
to this version?

Thanks,
Bob

^^^^
in this configuration, the Board has only UDMA-Ports. So no RAID-Support
and no Promise-Drivers available.
If you need RAID, choose another BIOS!

Thanks. I should have been more precise...I'm not using the RAID IDE
ports for true RAID...simply using them for additional hard drives, so
in fact I was trying the Promise UDMA drivers on the Lumberjack site,
not the RAID ones.

Just for reference,you can use the non-hacked raid driver for hard
drives without connecting them in raid.
