[cruger]

Der im neuen Hyperion Pro 5.08A Treiberpaket (<a href="http://www.planet3dnow.de/cgi-bin/newspub/viewnews.cgi?category=2&id=1144402070">wir berichteten</a>) enthaltene "PATA/SATA IDE Driver" in der Version 1.40A ist von VIA auch einzeln als Stand-Alone-Variante veröffentlich worden.


<font face="tahoma" size="1"><b><u>Supported VIA Chips and Microsoft Windows Operating systems</u></b>

The VIA PATA/SATA IDE Driver Package supports VIA PATA and SATA controllers as detailed below.</font>


<font face="tahoma" size="1"><b>1. VIA PATA IDE Controllers</b>

<b>South Bridges supported:</b> All VIA South Bridge chips are supported, including VT686A, VT686B, VT8235, VT8237, VT8237R Plus, VT8237R, VT8251, VT8237A, CX700,VX700.
<b>Systems supported:</b> Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server2003, Windows XP 64-Bit and Windows Server 2003 x64. Windows Vista, it will be supported after V1.50a.

<b>Notes on legacy operating systems:</b> The old VIA Miniport driver v3.20 is included in this package to support the VIA VT686A/VT686B/VT8235 South Bridges under NT4.0, Windows 98SE, Windows ME. All other VIA South Bridges with legacy operating systems should use the Microsoft Default IDE driver.</font>


<font face="tahoma" size="1"><b>2. VIA SATA IDE Controllers</b>

<b>VIA SATA controllers supported:</b> All VIA SATA controllers inside VIA South Bridge chips are supported including:</font><ul><li><font face="tahoma" size="1">SATA controller inside VT8237/VT8237R Plus/VT8237R.</font></li><li><font face="tahoma" size="1">SATA controller inside VT8251</font></li><li><font face="tahoma" size="1">SATA controller inside VT8237A</font></li><li><font face="tahoma" size="1">SATA controller inside VX700/CX700</font></li></ul><font face="tahoma" size="1"><b>Operating Systems supported:</b> Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server2003, Windows XP 64-Bit and Windows Server 2003 x64. Windows Vista will be supported after V1.50a.
<b>Notes on legacy operating systems:</b> This driver does not supported VIA SATA controllers for Windows NT4.0, Windows 98SE, Windows ME. (This is due to a limitation in the operating system driver structure, where SATA can only be supported in native IDE mode).

<font face="tahoma" size="1"><b>Benefits:</b> End-users can enjoy the benefits of the SATA Hot-Plug feature, where a SATA drive can be hot-plugged, detected and used much in the same way as a USB hard drive. This feature is supported under Windows 2000 and later operating systems.</font>

<b>Limitations</b>
The default Microsoft driver is used as part of this driver package. The default Microsoft driver does not support the Port-Multiplier feature. To overcome this, VIA is working on providing this support via the VIA IDE Accelerator driver. Users with legacy operating systems (Windows NT4.0, Windows 98SE, Windows ME ) need to set their SATA controller to RAID mode in their BIOS and then use VIA V-RAID driver package.</font>

na hoffendlich steigt mit diesem treiber mal wieder der datendurchsatz auf kt400a boards.
20-30mb/s bei 60mb/s platten ist echt ein wenig arm.
