There is also a tool called "SilCFG forMedley", you don't need it by default

fastest UDMA mode for the controller - so you don't need it for maximum
performance.

The last version of Medley v1.2.0.5 works for me perfectly on both Vista
32-bit & 64-bit. Setup/Load/Configuration & Monitoring are all working 100%.
(if I could post
a screencap I would!) My Vista's are always clean installs. The last version
released is downloadable from
http://www.siliconimage.com/docs/SiI...iICfg-1205.zip

This version worked. I can now control my RAID.
Thanks

@Steve
Glad to hear it


Don't believe anyone who says things aren't available - they just haven't
tried hard enough to find it.

Hi YaniMan - unfortunately you've made a mistake somewhere. The drivers work
100% without problem - I've now installed them over 35+ times in various PCs,
using both the 32-bit & x64 editions of Vista - without any problems.

You need to check that you
1) really do have a 0680a RAID controller installed & configured
2) Expanded the drivers somewhere, and correctly pointed Vista to that folder.

They do work.

Have you tried copying the contents of the \EXT64 directory to the
root directory of A:?
I haven't tried it with this driver yet but I know that Vista seemed
to have trouble finding other drivers
located in subdirectories.

What happens is that when you extract the original download it creates a
drv file in the folder you extract to. This is an app that upon
execution further extracts a second folder called OS drivers. It is
after this is done that you can point Vista to this folder from where
it finds and loads the driver. Not the most intuitive, but the darn
driver works.

Hi there

I've searched everywhere to find a compatible driver for VISTA:
Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA RAID Controller

Has anyone found one, that works?

Sincerely Lilo

I have the SiI0680/0680A 32-bit Windows RAID Driver for WinXP/2000. I have
read on many sites that this is the same driver to use for Vista. When
installing Vista, I don't get any drives appearing to install Vista to. Once
I say load driver and select the XP/2000 driver and click continue, the Vista
installation freezes on me and nothing happens. I've tried it 3 or 4 times,
all with the same result. It appears this driver doesn't work. Is there a
Vista supported driver for RAID SiI0680/0680A? I am using the IDE connectors
to both of my Hard Drives.

Thanks,
David Schaefer

i've had exactly simillar problem , the trick was , i had to use THE
OLDEST drivers from Silicon Image ,

that is version :

1.0.1.7
download page (at the bottom of this page) :

http://www.siliconimage.com/support/...d=2&osid =4&;

that works in Vista final Ultimate 100% for me , any other (newer)
driver for my Sil 0680 is not being recognized by Vista - in my case -
(probably due to old BIOS of my card or something)

try it , maybe it would help
