This could be a combination of a Harware/Software problem.
I have a Pny Expresscard 34 esata card using the Sil 3132 chipset. The bios appears to be a Rev 01A. I have no problem using the card under OSX, though it's a little slower on the 2.4 unibody than it was on my 2.2 SR. The drivers that came with the card for OS X work flawlessly. The part i'm having issues with is while using Vista 32 Home Premium under bootcamp, the device manager tells me there aren't enough resources available. I've tried everything under the sun except for flashing the card bios. I've tested the drivers from the PNY site, 16 sets of drivers from the Silicon Image site, different drivers from Windows (using M$ windows update) and frankly i'm out of ideas. Now the drive i have also has Firewire 800 and that works fine (with Apples built in FW port), but it's much slower. I use the external drive for games and firewire isn't the best choice for optimal transfer rates. I've tried to contact PNY and Silicon image. Silicon image points me to PNY and PNY NEVER responds to emails.
My MBP Unibody is 3 weeks old so all the firmware updates were applied prior to recieving the laptop. The only thing i've been able to dig up is that perhaps the drivers that assign resources are flawed. I've also read (here and other places) that apple reassigned resource id's with the latest firmware. Unfortuantly I haven't been able to test that because the latest firmware came with my MBP. I did have this card working properly under Bootcamp with Vista 32 on my previous MBP santa rosa 2.2 8600, but that was replaced by Applecare due to 2 faulty graphics cards. So, i know the card works under Vista.
Any suggestions? ... Thanks.
