Re: Raid on ASUS A8N-SLI

See Chipset_64_1.zip and Chipset_64_2.zip, from December of 2004.

If you unzip Chipset_64_1.zip and run the executable (it's a self-extracting
RAR file), one of the things that it produces is a makedisk utility for the
drivers.

I don't own an A8N-SLI, but I'm pretty sure that this is what you need.

"Shocking service"? Perhaps not.

HTH.
