Re: Windows Drivers for the 
CE2-HARMONY & CE1-MELODY IDE/CompactFlash CPCI Adapter
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The CE2 board is based on the PCI-649 IDE controller chip, which
was developed by CMD Technology. The original supplied drivers
therefore can be found in the directory named 'cmd'.

Since CMD has been bought by Silicon Image, there are newer
drivers available from SI, which are contained in the folder
named 'si'. All standard Windows systems (W9x, WNT, W2k, WXP)
should work with the 649_NT4_3_0_101.zip driver package.

Unfortunately there have been problems observed with the SI
drivers when trying to access certain CompactFlash Microdrives
or CFA Flash storage cards. As long as these issues do not
affect your application, we would recommend to install the
SI drivers nevertheless.

However, if you encounter a similar issue, instead you should
make use of the original CMD drivers. It could be necessary,
to remove the SI drivers from your Windows system, before
installing the CMD drivers.

If your Windows hangs completely while the boot procedure is in
progress, switch the systems power off, remove the CE2 board,
and have the system boot again. Call regedit, and delete a key
in the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services,
which is named PnP64x. Shut down the system now, and reinstall
the CE2-HARMONY. After booting, install the CMD drivers when you
are asked for, instead of the SI drivers. 

There are no explicite WXP drivers in the CMD folder, but the W2k
drivers work also with WXP (although there should be no need to 
use these drivers, because WXP comes already with suitable 649
support).
