The SOYO SpeedPro driver makes use of an advanced caching algorithm, which gives it an advantage over other busmaster drivers.

ØIntel Busmaster Drivers for Windows 95

ØIntel Busmaster Drivers for Win NT

ØIntel Busmaster Drivers for OS/2

These are the official busmaster drivers as supplied by Intel.

Note: Do NEVER install two types of busmaster drivers on your system, this will lead to conflicts and system instability. Therefore, if you install the SOYO SpeedPro Busmaster driver you can NOT install the Intel Busmaster drivers. Before installing a new busmaster driver first UNINSTALL the old busmaster driver.
