Thought I would post this in-case anyone else might be looking for a signed x64 driver like I was. Did you look here? Didn't think that would install on the PCI-X card. Well I was wrong what I found was for an Adaptec controller and does not install properly. So back to my Sonnet driver. Last edited by BobPhoenix; at PM. Reason: Added update.
