windows 2003 server no support for older hardware???
This is a discussion about windows 2003 server no support for older hardware??? in the Everything New Technology category; I just installed windows 2003 server on my machine to find out that some hardware is just not working ;( Some question marks in my device manager. Sound blaster AWE64 and my initio SCSI card. I just can't believe it.

Anyone found some drivers that work?
I guess my HW is kinda old too.

You could try using your 2000/XP drivers but of course they would not be certified for 2003.
Or you could upgrade to *nix. There's really no reason for an OS to drop support for hardware that could still be used in the computer's of today. Just install *nix and use it all!
OP
I am running suse 8.0 on the same machine. And guess what, everything works.
If nothing else I'm looking forward to IIS BSOD's in 2003! hahahahah!

Samething with Macs ....
SCSI support is good yet questionable at times with OS 10.x and the drivers for the Matrox RTE Card are still in Beta.
Either hardware manufactures play catch up with the OS or they just dont play at all .....
