- Re: Looking for drivers for AMD-RAID Configuration SCSI Processor Device First of all, that's a typo on my part, it's actually the Alienware 15 R3. That said, things did finally get worked out, but not without a bit of pain and suffering.
- VIDAR’s SCSI Toolkit was based on Adaptec’s ASPI drivers. However, Adaptec™ is not supporting its ASPI drivers for Microsoft Windows™ 2000 or XP. Therefore, VIDAR developed a toolkit that takes advantage of Microsoft’s Still Image Architecture (STI) for digital imaging devices.
For automatic identification and scsi & raid devices drivers, we strongly recommend to download and install the Driver Update Tool – it will help you to get the correct latest drivers for all of your devices and avoid conflicts and improper work of your system. Note: Improper or outdated drivers in your system may cause system failure, blue screen also known as “Blue Screen of Death.

Microsoft provides a SCSI Port driver as a standard feature of the Microsoft Windows storage architecture. The SCSI Port driver streamlines the Windows storage subsystem by emulating a simplified SCSI adapter. Storage class drivers load on top of the port driver. This means that you can write storage class drivers for Windows with minimal concern for the unique hardware features of each SCSI adapter.
The emulation capabilities of the SCSI Port driver also allow you to develop minidrivers that are much simpler to design and code than a monolithic port driver. In other words, using the SCSI Port driver allows you to focus on developing a miniport driver that handles the particular features of your adapter.
To use the SCSI Port support routines, link to one of the SCSI Port support libraries, scsiport.lib or scsiwmi.lib. These SCSI Port libraries handle all interaction between the miniport driver and the hardware abstraction layers (HAL) of the operating system. Miniport drivers must not link directly to the HAL support library, hal.lib, nor should they link directly to the ntoskrnl.lib or libcntpr.lib support libraries. SCSI miniport drivers that do so are not eligible for a Windows logo.
Vidar Scsi Driver
The following sections examine the key features of the SCSI Port driver.
Vidar Scsi Interface
A general discussion of SCSI Port miniport drivers is provided in SCSI Miniport Drivers.
The Windows storage architecture also provides the Storport Driver, the recommended alternative to SCSI Port for high-performance devices.
