Driverless eSata (NewerTech MAXPower 6G PCI eSATA Controller. 2 x eSATA ports)

Hello,
In my Mac Pro I have installed a NewerTech MAXPower 6G PCIe eSATA Controller. 2 x eSATA ports. This is to connect my external disk enclosure to the computer. The problem I am experiencing is that if the extermnal disk array is powered off during I boot my Mac or login to it after sleep - the external disks are not mounted. In order to get ones mounted to my Mac Pro I put my Mac to sleep, switch the external disk array on, wait until it boots and then wake up my Mac and login to the OS. Sometimes it requires more than one time to repeat it to get disks mounted.
Is there any way  (terminal command, automator script etc...) to force a Mac to iniciate/activate or load drivers to the PCI eSATA Controller that I would be able to mount these disk without putting my Mac to sleep or taking any other special actions?
Thank you for your time.

I use The ARCTICROC 4T http://www.rocstor.com/products/arcticroc-4t.html
grep for MaxPower returns nothing.
grep for AHCI returns 4 lines

It is realy strange that putting Mac to sleep and waking it up forces external eSATA discs to appear. Most probably it is related to enclosure behaviors as the NewerTechnology Voyager connected to the second same card's eSATA port does not require any magic moves or actions to get mounted if a disk is inserted in to it.
This problem annoys me ..... especially when it is related to Microsoft Office. During MS Office activation the external eSATA disks were connected and Office included it in it's hardware description for authorization. Therefore if I run some MS Office products when the eSATA disks are off, the Office requests for a key. If I enter an activation key and next tiome I run MS Office with disk connected it sees it as a different computer and requests for a key....&^%*&^%
I talked to Microsoft about the problem and they told that they know it and working on solution. However, I believe that this problem priority is very low on MSoft side as there are comparably small amount of users having similar problems.

  • Windows 7 driver for PCI Simple Controller

    I installed the Lenovo Windows 7 Professional upgrade on my R400 (7443-CTO) from Windows XP Professional.  The ThinkVantage tools repeatedly shows I need a driver for the "PCI Simple Controller".  I have been unable to find that driver on the Lenovo support site.  Any assistance to help resolve this issue would be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To create shortcuts or folders under the startmenu in Win7 you can rightclick "All Programs" under the startmenu. Then you can choose "Open" or "Open all users". If you choose "Open" you will be able to change the startmenu for the current user account only and when you select "Open all users" you can change the startmenu for all user accounts on the computer. The startmenu in Windows is basically just folders and shortcuts stored in a folder on your computer. The startmenu for all users are stored under "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" and for the current user under "C:\Users\<useraccount>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu"
    So let's say you want the "Thinkvantage" folder under the Windows startmenu where it should normally be after installing Lenovo toolbox and then the shortcut for Lenovo Toolbox under that folder. Then you can rightclick "All Programs" under the startmenu and select "Open all users" from the context menu. You should then see a explorer windows with the folder "Programs". If you open the "Programs" folder you will see the same contents as you see under the "startmenu -> All Programs". Since this is the area for the common startmenu for all user accounts there might be some more entries under the startmenu compared to what you see in this windows. By selecting "Open" instead of "Open all users" as explained above you should find the rest. So when you rightclicked, selected "open all users" and then doublecliked on "Programs" then you can rightclick somewhere in that window and choose "New -> Folder" from the context menu. Then you can give the folder the name "Thinkvantage". Then open the "Thinkvantage" folder and create a shortcut for Lenovo Toolbox. After you have done these steps you should find the Thinkvantage folder under "All Programs" and then the shortcut for Lenovo Toolbox under the Thinkvantage folder. This is how you can easily change the startmenu in Windows to add, remove or change entries under "All Programs".
    Normally after installing Lenovo Toolbox it should be under "All Programs -> Thinkvantage" and not sure why that is not the case for you, but then you can add it manually like explained above. When i installed Lenovo Toolbox a shortcut and the Thinkvatage folder was created under "All Programs" during the installation. Also if you install the "System interface driver" and "Hotkey feature set" you can start Lenovo Toolbox by pressing the blue thinkvantage button on your computer. Unless you already installed "System Update 4.0" i would recommend to do so. System Update will find the drivers and software from Lenovo for your computer and give you a list where you can select those you want to download and install. System update will then download and install the drivers and software you selected and you don't have to download and install each one of them manually one by one. It will save you a lot of time. You can find system update for Windows 7 using the link below.

    User Access Control is a new feature of Windows that started with Windows Vista so therefore you won't find it in XP. Only Vista and Windows 7 got UAC.
    Yes it's a bit late over here I'm sure i will enjoy the weekend and hope you will do the same.

  • PCI USB2 Controller card conflicts with network card

    I've installed a PCI USB2 controller card since my motherboard (IWill K266-R) only has support for USB1. However, the card seems to conflict with one of my network cards, because traffic on the internet-connected NIC is very slow, and often drops completely. Traffic to and from the other (local) NIC seems to work fine, though.
    I have tried moving around all three cards in different PCI slots, I think I've tested almost every possible combination by now. I've also tried disabling as much as possible in BIOS, such as onboard sound, serial and parallel ports etc. I've tried lowering the FSB.
    For now, I've removed the controller card, and is using the USB1 ports on the motherboard instead. This is very frustrating, though.
    Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can try next? I've browsed forums, both this and others, but I haven't found any more hints on what to try. Could there be some setting in Arch that could affect these sorts of things?

    "I guess the ATA100 card will work fine correct?"
    If you mean large drive support, it may provide that or may require a firmware update to do so. You should check the manufacturer's web site for specifics. All ATA-133 cards do provide 48-bit LBA for large drive support. I'd return the Ultra ATA-66 card to the eBay seller, although many refuse to pay for return shipping, even when the mistake is their own, either through ignorance or deliberate misrepresentation. In cases such as this, it's sometimes more cost-effective to swallow the loss and keep the incorrect part.
    "Will adding a jumper apply for a ATA100 card as well? I'll need a blue and gray ribbon correct?"
    If you use an 80-conductor ribbon cable with color-keyed connectors, set the drive configuration jumper to CS and connect the drives to the cable as you wish (in terms of physical placement in the computer). If the ribbon cable doesn't have color-keyed connectors, set the jumper for the device connected to the end connector as Master and the drive (if any) connected to the middle connector as Slave.

  • Satellite Pro A200-1MI - Need driver for PCI memory controller

    I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200-1MI(PSAE7E) having a problem with PCI Memory Controller on my notebook.
    When I go to Device Manager it shows question mark in the tab Other Devices and when I go there, it's yellow ?(question mark) and !(exlamation mark) at PCI Memory Controller. I took and downloaded all the drivers from your site:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    for XP but I am not sure what type of drivers do I have to install for PCI Memory Controller, is it bios driver or something else? I just need to know what to install to overcome that problem with my Device Manager and PCI Memory Controller.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello akibono
    I presume you have installed clean WXP on your notebook and now you want to install all drivers, tools and utilities. Am I right about that?
    Anyway, after WXP installation you must install all drivers, tools and utilities in specific installations order. After doing this everything should be OK and every hardware component will be properly configured.
    Please install all stuff as follow:
    WXP
    Chipset driver
    Display driver
    Sound driver
    Modem driver
    Storage manager
    LAN driver
    Touchpad driver
    WLAN driver
    Toshiba Assist
    Flash Media driver
    Webcam driver
    Hardware setup
    Controls
    And so on
    I hope everything will be OK.

  • Dead MS6330 after PCI IEEE1394 Controller install

    Hello,
    Yesterday I installed a PCI IEEE1394 Controller on a MS-6330 with 1300Mhz Athlon. After installing the necessary software and restarting my WinXP couldn't load. I tried removing and adding the newly installed card, the LAN and video cards. Now as I start the computer the power supply looks fine, all the coolers start etc. but no signal (even BIOS) appears on the monitor, neither does the 'No input signal' message that appears when video signal is absent. Could you offer some solution to the problem?

  • On-board RAID and PCI RAID controller

    Hello everybody,
    I am new to the forum. So, please excuse me if that topic was already covered...
    I have MSI MAX2-LR (MS-6398E) board. It works just fine, no problem so far. Though I have 2 problems with add-on cards:
    1.  I was planning to use on-board RAID and additional PCI RAID controller = FastTrack 100 TX2 to cover 6 hard drives into 2 mirrored sets: 4drives one and 2 drives the other.
    It doesn't work! I can use either on-board RAID or PCI RAID. As soon as I have any drive connected to on-board RAID, the PCI RAID disappeares. If I have no drives connected to on-board RAID, I can see both RAID controllers, they have different I/O and IRQs, and PCI RAID is working just fine. If only I connect one drive to the on-board RAID, it gets activated on startup, and the other one disappeares. :O
    I believe it's a BIOS bug. I wander, if that can be fixed easily????? :D
    2. I have a new Matrox Video card = Parhelia. It doesn't work in AGP slot! System doesn't recognize it, and beeps non-stop. I am dealing with Matrox Tech Support on that matter.  ?(
    Maybe, it's a known issue, and somebody can save me time by telling what's that about.
    Appreciate any imput. Have a great weekend.!!! :]

    Hey I also have the same Raid card and also the Matrox Parhelia, and I see that you also have some problems with the card I got also problems with the card, but they couldnt help me at theire forums (http://forum.matrox.com/mgaforum/Forum10/HTML/005085.html), I hope we have got more luck here  :D

    You need the driver for Intel Turbo Memory.  Only Windows Vista can use Turbo Memory, so we only have a Vista version for the driver:

    Is this driver appropriate?
    Do I need the PCI Memory Controller driver .. and if so where do I find it for my laptop?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would suggest that you forget about turbo memory. Intel quit talking about it and they have not released a driver since 2009. That is 2 years before service pack 1 was released. I ran tests and I was never able to measure any improvement with a card installed. As far as I am concerned, it is just something else to break and interfere with other components.,

  • Calling dll of Leetro MPC08 PCI motion controller card problems.

    Hi,
    I have been trying to develop an application using Labview 8.5.  I need to control a motorized linear stage which uses the Leetro MPC08 PCI motion controller card.  The manufacturer gave me example VIs which I configure to call "c:\windows\system32\MPC08.dll".  About four months ago, I remembered that i tested them and they seemed to work somehow (but I did not finish the full test since i was busy doing other things).  Nevertheless, when I got back to continue my development a few days ago, i just could not get the same old VIs to work.  I could only get one library function of the card to work which is the "auto_set" which returns "4" which is the number of axes that the card can control.  The next function I need to call is "init_board" but this one keeps returning "-3".  The manual indicates that any negative number returned means there has been something wrong.  I would guess it is "PCI initialization fails" but honestly do not know for sure.  Can anyone help?  My computer is a PC running windows XP. 
    Thanks in advance for any kind help offered.

    Hi,
    Wrapped VISA call means that the SubVI contains a set of VISA calls.
    If you are calling the VI's individually it is possible that the VI's need to pass a reference to each other, so they might not work if run individually.  Hard to know without the DLL docs, so to speak.  It could be possible that there is no need to pass references between subVI's.
    Direct VISA calls are probably not necessary if the device runs with the vendors software.  The main goal was to verify functionality with either VISA or vendor app.
    Ok I was looking at the Leetro web site, you can forget the VISA stuff as it is a PCI card, duh... you said that at the begining. :-)
    The manual says Win2000 or XP.  is this being run on two different systems?

  • How to make a NI PCI-7352 Controller to drive a DC Brushless Motor

    Hi everybody,
    I want to control a DC Brushless Motors.
    I understood that I have to use a NI PCI-7352 Controller and one of the following interfaces- NI UMI-7772, NI UMI-7774, NI UMI-7764 Series.
    Can anybody tell me what kind of a third party driver I have to use to control a DC Brushless Motor?
    Thanks,
    Vassil

    Vassil,
    Brian's answer describes the recommended way to drive brushless motors with a 7350 board. Still, some types of brushless drives require external commutation. The 7350 also can provide commutated control signals. For more information please refer to this document.

  • Additional PCI IDE controller does not work

    I have an on-board IDE controller but I have several disks. So I bought an additional PCI IDE controller. However, Solaris 10 does not recognize it and doesn't see any disks on it. (reports "driver not attached "for the device).
    Is there a way to make the external PCI controller work?

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem and hope there is a solution. In my case, I bought one of the "reported to work" IDE controllers - the adaptec ASH-1233.
    The board is not being recognized by Solaris. Running Nevada build 27a.
    I followed the directions that Juergen Keil posted, and the directions on bigadmin associated with the card. That includes adding a line to devicedb/master:
    pci1095,680 pci-ide msd pci ata.bef "Silicon Image 680 PATA Controller"
    Then touching /reconfigure and doing a reboot.
    The device is not found and reported in /var/adm/messages. It is shown by prtconv -pv though, with the matching identifier (pci1095,680).
    So the device exists but isn't found by Solaris Nevada b27a. Thanks for any advice...

  • KT266 PRO2 and PCI ATA controller

    I have a lot of ide devices so I bought a PCI ide controller years ago. Now I got my little brothers motherboard. MSI KT266 PRO2, and plugged all my stuff into it. When it was time to reinstall Win, but it would not boot the cd, or from floppy. I checked the boot order, all looks fine.
    Then I tried to take the PCI IDE controller out, and then it booted my winXP cd fine.
    So basically, When the PCI ATA bios is loaded (the card), I'm unable to boot from cd-rom or floppy. Only boot from HDD1 works. So every time I need to reinstall windows, I need to unplug all harddrives from the PCI IDE controller card. Then windows is installed I can plug the harddisks back in...
    I can't find an explanation to this...
    No problem when the PCI IDE controller is used with 2 other motherboard I have. Latest bios is used on the motherboard and the pci IDE adapter card.
    MSI KT266 PRO2
    AMD athlonxp 1700+
    Sapphire Radeon 9600 PRO
    maxtor ata100 pci controller
    768 MB DDR pc-2100 ram

    On the MB controller I have 2 harddrives on primary (one master, one slave), and 1 dvd-drive (master) and 1 cd-recorder (slave) on secondary.
    On my ata controller card I have 2 extra harddrives for backup. Both on the IDE1. One as master and the other as slave.
    All drives are properly configured.

  • Need PCI SCSI controller for Sparc

    I am perplexed at how difficult it is to get a Sparc-based PCI SCSI controller. I need help. If I search man section 7d of Solaris 9 I can find glm, isp, mpt, ncrs, and syshisl which appear to be drivers for PCI SCSI controllers on Sparc, but no idea of where to buy one (none of these are Adaptec, which I do know where to buy). If I search the Sun Store I can find part numbers for SCSI controllers but absolutely no description of them or which drivers they use. If I search the Sun documentation site I can find a few SCSI controllers mentioned but not referred to by the part numbers on the Sun store, so I still cannot get ordering info. When I search BigAdmin for driver support I find the pages dont tell me which architecture a driver is for. For example, I look up common Adaptec controllers and find drivers such as adp, cadp cadp160 but the web pages neglect to say they are for x86 only.
    This is what I need- PCI SCSI controller for SunBlade 100 and SunFire V120, Ultra 2 (LVD).

    "... the SSH is your friend..."
    "... the SSH is your friend..."
    "... the SSH is your friend..."
    Go online to the Sun System Handbook. It's your resource for hardware information.
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub
    You find the SB100 and the V120 in the list of EOL systems (both are discontinued models).
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/eolSystemList.html
    For each computer, you can review the "Full Components List" link,
    where there is a section that displays SCSI adapters,
    including their part numbers and their sales option numbers.
    You will be able to see that there was only one LVD card qualified
    to function properly in the V120. You will also be able to see
    that there weren't any LVD cards ever qualified in the SB100.
    I anticipate the x6758a card will work fine in both, .
    The SunBlade 100 desktop system is so old that it was already End-Of-Llife (EOL)
    before Sun started to ship the SCSI card. Thus there was no reason
    to go backwards and qualify the card to a disco'd platform.
    If you do decide to purchase and install that card, be sure to read its manual carefully.
    You will need to install separate driver software to the computers.
    The QUS drivers ship with newly purchased x6758a cards, or can be downloaded from Sun.
    ... not difficult at all.
