The AMI MR-762 will not be supported under Windows 2000.

Comments:

Microsoft does not support the complete SISL (MR-762) solution under
Windows 2000. The SISL solution is basically a modified PCI slot
which allows a PCI card to take control of the SCSI controllers on
the Motherboard.

This type of implementation creates a number of issues with PnP
because, as of today, as soon as Windows 2000 detects a device, it
will load and start the LSI driver. There is no way to stop Windows
2000 from loading the LSI Driver and SISL solutions such as the
MR-762 require that the LSI Driver is not automatically loaded.
Otherwise, it will conflict with the MR-762 Firmware.

This issue affects both the AMI MR-762 and Mylex AcceleRAID Series
Card. 

The Official Microsoft statement is that they do not have any plans
to support SISL Based Solutions under Windows 2000.

WARNING:

Attempting to install Windows 2000 on a Magnia Server equipped with
an AMI MR-762 Card with BIOS Version 1.12 Firmware Version 1.06 may
result in the destruction of the MR-762 Firmware. If this occurs, it
will be impossible to re-Flash the firmware as the system will hang
during POST. A replacement card will be required. This is a side
effect of the LSI Driver loading automatically.
