Problems with AMD64 and RAID drives with Plextor ???

MTU appears to have trouble finding my Plextor drives (including a "compatible" model I bought from MTU), once I moved from Intel over to a new AMD proc and NVidia MB. I have not been able to use my software for weeks now, and I get no answers, directly or indirectly from MTU.

Not the way to support your product I'd say. Prove me wrong OK?

Have you found anything out yet? I gather from your post that you built a machine around one of AMD's new processors. Here's what MTU says that their software will support:


A PC computer (not Apple/MAC) with: Windows 2000+SR4 or XP+SR2, a 350MHz or faster processor (Celeron, Pentium, 2, 3 or 4, or AMD Duron or Athelon), 256MB minimum RAM, at least 2GB of free hard drive space, an Internet connection or floppy drive to install (not required to run), a Video display card that supports DirectX 9.0b with 8MB or more of RAM (MTU recommends ATI Radeon Video Cards. S3 Video cards will NOT work), and an MTU or equal Certified CDG Recorder that can read and write the karaoke cdg format.

I cut and pasted this off the system requirements for Microstuduio; all I see if reference to the Athlon processor, I'm not sure if MTU products play well with the 64 bit stuff though.

S. Parks,
If you should decide to try on of the 64 bit machines, You will find they "play well with MTU Products" I have both Intel & amd 64 bit dual core machines they both wirk fine, I would even go so far as to say Superior.

Yes I checked the min. specs and I seem to be in the clear with those. Others seem to be having similar problems with the newer AMD motherboards so perhaps our developer friends will get a chance to look at this issue because I'm basically dead in the water now.

But I still think this involves some leftover crap xfered over from the old computer to the new that makes Microstudio "point" to the wrong places to look for the drives. If I could just get a little info on correct registry values etc. I could poke around myself and perhaps solve this.

OK, downloaded the latest drivers and installed them. No changes I'm afraid.
