Additional Notes

I have not tested the driver..recently downloaded from VIA technologies. I checked your site first and several other people on the net were looking for it. Finally found the driver for Windows XP that my system has been begging for since I installed XP on my ASUS mother board.

"The ASUS P5A driver suite was a tad complicated on my P5A-B's. Running XP-Pro and 2K-Pro, the suite installs through one executable program. The OS recognized the new IDE Bus Master driver, but Windows' Device Manager always found the device (IDE Bus Master) loaded with a bad driver. De-installed the IDE Bus Master driver and re-installed it manually with same result.
