Adaptec SCSI in Windows Vista

Posted: 07-12-2006, 04:35 PM
Vista beta 2 does not support my aha-2940U2W. I found nothing at www.adaptec.com.

Anyone know what Adaptec PCI SCSI adapters will be supported?

FWIW I install Vista 32-bit on one of my systems that used a 29160 connected
to a Maxtor 36gig Ultra 320 drive with no problems at all.

It appears that a whole range of perfectly working hardware will no longer
be supported in Vista. A lot of somewhat older SCSI controllers including
Adaptec's simply will not work anymore when Vista arrives. I've filed bug
reports and they get closed as 'by design', so appearently MS and/or the
hardware manufacturers want to force us to newer stuff. Time to pull out
Ubuntu...

Can't you install the related WinXP drivers in Vista?

On 32-bit, maybe. On 64-bit definitely not.

Nobody is forcing anybody to migrate to Windows Vista. Free will and all.
Stay with what works.

If the 64-bit drivers 'definetely' aren't compatible, then why would the
32-bit ones be.

Because on Vista 32-bit you can still install unsigned and/or older (WinXP)
drivers, where the 64-bit version insists on Vista approved drivers that
must be digitally signed with a Verisign certificate. Even Win2003 64-bit
drivers, or drivers signed by a different signing authority than Verisign
are rejected by Vista 64-bit.

I have a Dell Precision 670 that has an onboard Adaptec HostRaid Adapter.
Don't know the actual model number but the XP 64 bit drivers work just fine.
I loaded them at the start of the installation process.
