Need Driver Help
#1
I can't seem to find drivers for my SiI 0680 Ultra ATA133 EIDE Controller. Any help finding it? Because I sure as hell can't find it. Their official website doesn't have an exe and the only thing I have is a floppy and my computer doesn't even have a floppy drive. So some help would be sweet.

I couldn't find any drivers either, I would suggest going and buying an external floppy disk drive and installing the drivers on the floppy through that.

Yeah, I figured that no companies would be dumb enough to put that shit on a floppy being that they have... You know... CD DRIVES. ****ing stupid. =\

Thanks for trying, I might just go get an external floppy...

or u could go to a library, send the contents on the floppy to ur own email as an attachment, go back home and download them to ur computer from the attachment.
cuz only really old stuff use floppys, nowadays its all flash and SD =/ so its really a waste of time and money to go buy a drive.

That's true, but that drive could come in use later and its less of a hassle to get your own drive than go to a library and deal with all of their rules (if there are any). Also if the drivers are big its a pain to upload them to an e-mail or host them somewhere online.

Mass storage drivers for Windows XP are always on floppy disks, you can thank Microsoft for this one. When you want to install windows onto a SCSI, SATA or UltrATA interface, Windows needs the driver before it start the instalation, and guess what, it only lets you load it from a floppy. So that's why those kind of drivers are always on floppies. Now, it's the companies fault for not including a CD-ROM also (which are WAY cheeper to manufacture than floppies) so it's no excuse not to include an extra CD.

Here's the page with the drivers for Windows 2000 and XP:

1) You can visit one of your friends and use their computer to write the drivers from the floppy disk to to a cd and then use the cd on your computer.
2)Buy a new controller.
3)Buy a new computer. Tongue
