Hey I got KA7 100 in a regular KA7 box!!!!!!!

[classy]

I went to the fair today and bought a KA7. When I got home and opened the box instead of regular KA7, there was a KA7 100!!! Man it looks sweet. But there is no drivers or cable for the ATA100 controller chip. Can't seem to find them on the Abit site either, anyone know where I can them?

Don`t have all the answers but will get the ball rolling,the main VIA drivers you can get from, http://www.via.com.tw/drivers/index.htm

The manual you can get download from Abit web site,so that leaves the cable,well any decent computer store should be able to help you there.
BTW goto,( The Abit KA7 forum is at bottom of page at the site)

The KA7 owners here(Anandtech) or there(above site) should be able to tell you what extra drivers you may need.

Thanks mem. Seems to be doing okay. I have gotten a couple of reboots, but so far so good. It sure is nice!

I don't think Abit has that stuff available on their site yet, but if you need the drivers for the Highpoint controller, I can e-mail them to you or something. I have the drivers CD that also has some goodies from Highpoint and VIA-Tech. You got a great board there. I am having a blast with mine. I just put this together, and I am not using a GFD to overclock. I could also just burn you a copy and mail it. Let me know... Good luck! Also, try to locate the RY bios. It is not available at Abit's main site, but I think one of the mirrors has it.

I found the tweak guide for the KA7 RY Bios...

Insane that would be great. I'll even pay a little something. Email me. Also How come I can't enter the high point bios even though I hit Ctrl-H?
