Sil3124 DOS drivers?

[jeffy]

I have a problem, I would like to find the drivers for a PCI card with Sil3124 chip, but enabling me to see the drive under DOS. Can anyone help me, please?

Wow, I just had this problem last night.

The problem is that you can't just DL a driver for the chip, you need to go to the manufacturer of the card. My card was based on the SiI 3512 chip, and thats all the BIOS will tell you!

Since the card was nonfunctional without the driver, I couldn't look up the name in the hardware manager.... What saved me was Newegg! I was able to look up my old order from 2 years ago, and I found out that my card is a Rosewill RC-210.

The Rosewill website had all the drivers I needed.

This is my http://www.kouwell.com.tw/pr-m10.htm#5125 and I cannot find the DOS driver anywhere. Any more ideas? Thank you.

I dunno man, but usually they package the DOS driver into ALL driver downloads, becuase its so small.

if the controller has a BIOS/Boot ROM it does not need any driver under DOS.

@Sharktooth: yes, it has the BIOS inside, but I cannot see the drives connected to it under DOS.

Hi!

A Googlesearch (INCLUDING quotes and "AND"s for "SiI3124" and "DOS" and "driver" and "download" (The letter immediately following "Si" is a capital "EYE" not a lowercase "ELL") yields the following, among other possible resources:

@setarip_old: thank you very much for your efforts. I thought it was SIL (as in Silicon Image ) not SII (as in Silicon Image - http://www.siimage.com - http://www.siimage.com). Unfortunately everything I've done so far has not helped.

Please confirm; did you check the two links I provided?

[jeffy]

Yes, I did.
The first link contains BIOS update utilities and Windows drivers, the second link contains the BIOS update utility (for DOS) as well. Unfortunately, I found no drivers for DOS, enabling the real use of the connected devices under DOS.
