Hi all,

After much quietness with my early eCS 1.2 installed on a 5-year old  
desktop of stable configuration, I now have the opportunity to put it onto  
a 6-month old laptop. But on booting for installation it hangs on loading  
the DaniS506 driver, indicating I presume that that particular venerable  
driverset is at a loss to deal with the current (probably SATA) hardware.

Two possible courses of action appear feasible:

1.	Update the driverset on the desktop and burn new installation CDs from  
that

2.	Do the trickier thing, similar to what I did recently to backlevel  
someone's new Fujitsu Amilo from Vista to XP. XP couldn't even see the  
HDU, so I had to make an image on HDU of the XP CD, replace the standard  
XP drivers in that image with the SATA-level drivers from the Fujitsu  
website using a freeware utility, and burn a new XP from that. (Worked  
fine, massive performance improvement.) In principle, I could do the same  
thing for the eCS1.2 CDs using the XP utility, once the new  
DANIS506xxx.exe has been exploded under eCS or Warp4 into a directory.

I seem to recall various postings dealing with Option 1 - can anyone  
summarise the How, since this should be more straightforward? Failing  
which, can anyone indicate whether Option 2 is viable - after all, we are  
dealing with standard ISO images I presume?

Best regards to all,

Basil
