Forgive me as well, however I've not been able to find a clear answer to a question regarding the promise drivers.

I have a a8v board with the same controller. If I plug my new 3gb/s drive into the VIA, it is undetected unless I set the jumper to 1.5gb/s.

However... When I plug into the promise, it actually does detect the drive. I am installing a fresh copy of XP on the drive and was curious if promise supports the 3gb/s speed. I have the floppy prepared with the VIA drivers, as I always used via in the past, but I do not have one for promise.

VIA is said to be the most stable on this board, but If I could get 3gb/s it would be worth it to use promise!

I would greatly appreciate the help if anyone knows!! :)
