x64 Windows, Need VMware SCSI controller

Im trying to load up a new server with x64 version of windows. I need to have a floppy disk image of the SCSI controller that supports the x64 version. I have the 32 bit version but this obviously does not work.

Does anyone know where I can obtain a x64 floppy image?

thanks

Isn't the driver already on the XP64 install CD?

not sure, but it needs to be in the flp format... see the one i have now is vmscsi-1.2.0.4.flp but that does not support x64...

Hi Huberet,

The vmscsi-1.2.0.4.flp contains the Bus Logic SCSI drivers. Your virtual machine should be configured to use the LSI SCSI controller and the LSI Logic drivers are on your Windows install CD

When attempting to install the vmscsi 1.2.0.4 driver on from an XP install CD with SP3 I received errors that the driver was not compatible with the x64 based system.

I was however successful with the installation using an XP SP2 install CD.
