Drivers are available. The card should NOT be present during Windows installation.

Can you please point me to the download page for the Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit driver for the HDSP 9632?  I can't seem to find it in this page...

I see the the Flash Update Tool in there, though.  Will that Flash Update Tool work in Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit?

Thanks!

Thank you!

Is the 02/2009 Flash Update Tool - fut_wdm_dsp.zip - the correct one for me to flash the firmware?

For my installation which is a new system build (Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit to be installed for the first time on a new machine), should I install the 4.22 driver first before doing the Flash Update?  What is the correct sequence?

Also, there is a note about HDSP PCI Rev < 1.8.  I bought my HDSP 9632 used and I don't know what Rev it is.  How do I tell if my card's Rev is < 1.8?  Is there any physical indication on the card that can tell me what Rev number it is?

Thanks again!

Oh, I see what you mean about the date 10/12/2015.  But there's a 02/2009 date in the description though:

"Flash Update Tool (02/2009). Updates PCI and CardBus card to hardware revision 17/55, HDSP 9652 to 108, HDSP 9632 to 155, HDSP MADI to 207 and AES-32 to 234."

Anyway, I guess we're talking about the same FUT so that's the right one for me.

Is there a different card called "HDSP PCI card" that is not the same as the HDSP 9632?  I thought "HDSP PCI" was referring to the HDSP 9632 since the HDSP 9632 is a PCI card.  So the note/warning about Rev < 1.8 does not apply to my card and there is no danger of flashing my card?

Should I install the version 4.22 WDM driver first before doing the Flash Update?  What is the correct sequence of doing these steps?

OK, thanks!

So in my case I will install the 4.22 driver first, then do the Flash Update.

Should work.

Okay, I installed the 4.22 driver in Windows 7 and it was a breeze. Installed the driver, turned off the machine, plugged the card into the PCI slot, turned on the machine and booted Windows, and then got the message that I need to restart to make the changes take effect. After restarting, the driver was already installed. Nothing more to do.

But in Windows XP it was not so simple. After plugging the card into the PCI slot, and turning on the machine to boot Windows, the Found New Hardware Wizard came up. It asked if I want Windows to connect to Windows Update to search for software. I selected No, not this time. Then I was given two choices:

1. Install the software automatically (recommended)
2. Install from a list or specific location (advanced)

Which option should I choose? Will either option work fine, just that #2 is more involved than #1? I'm thinking that #1 is easier and maybe the wizard should already know where to find the driver in my machine. For #2, I'm not sure what location I should point the wizard to, since there was no .inf file extracted and all I did was run the installer exe (I don't know if it extracted an .inf file or where the file was placed if it did).

I actually tried option 1 and it did install the driver automatically. I'm just not sure where it got the driver from. Does option 1 also work and achieve the exact same thing as option 2?
