Windows 7 Drivers - Confusion !!
Posted: Mon Aug 05, 2013 3:41 am
Today I updated the drive in my Fit-PC3 from a 120GB Mushkin SSD to a Toshiba 256GB SSD. The process including installing Windows 7 went well until it was time to install the FitPC3 specific drivers provided in the Wiki. At that point, the process became a bit confusing.
When I first configured my Fit-PC3 in 2012, the wiki provided drivers for the following categories:
AHCI
Audio
Bluetooth
Ethernet
FM LAN
USB 3.0
Video
WiFi
These drivers are now contained in the directory:
/download/fit-PC3/Win7/drivers/old
However, in the Wiki parent directory containing the newest drivers the categories of AHCI & Bluetooth are omitted, and the new category of FM SER is included.
I am proceeding under the assumption that I must install a driver for each of the categories:
AHCI
Audio
Bluetooth
Ethernet
FM LAN
FM SER
USB 3.0
Video
WiFi
When available, I am obtaining the needed drivers from the Wiki parent directory. However, if the parent directory does not contain a driver for a category, I am reverting back to the /old directory for that driver. This seems like a reasonable approach, but I cannot be sure given the Wiki's complete lack of instructions in this area.
I would strongly suggest that Compulab revise the Wki in order clarify the process and to group all of the drivers by category. I would suggest that each category should include all of the dated releases for that category.
