    Hello,

    I have recently have had to clean install Vista on an older Gateway laptop (MX8741) and now I cannot find drivers for my TI Card Reader.

    The hardware IDs I am shown are as follows:
    Code: 
    PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8239&SUBSYS_0205710B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8239&SUBSYS_0205107B
PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8239&CC_020700
PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8239&CC_0207
    and compatible IDs:
    Code: 
    PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8239&REV_00
PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8239
PCI\VEN_104C&CC_020700
PCI\VEN_104C&CC_0207
PCI\VEN_104C
PCI\CC_020700
PCI\CC_0207
    The usual dev IDs should be either 803b for PCIxx12 series and 8033 for PCIxx21 series of card readers, but sadly that is not the case in this laptop.
    I needed some information on whether I can somehow modify the inf and sys files to make my card reader work.

    Thanks

    P.S. It seems like pci\ven_104c&dev_8039 does belong to PCIxx12 series also, and I suspect that this is the card that I have in my laptop. Could it be that Vista is somehow improperly detecting the card?
