Hi,
I'm using an abit KN9 motherboard, and their customer service is nonexistent. Because this motherboard (KN9 Series(NF-CK804) (Socket AM2)) is quite old it's difficult to find drivers - I've tried flashing a few of those on abit's ftp server that looked like they might work. No BIOS in the kn9 folder worked, but a few from the kn9c folder did work and my pc now recognises some new hardware.. Does anyone know where the latest drivers for this mobo are, or where I could find out where they might be?
All the best,
Jacob

Hi,
I read that they weren't around any more, too - that's a good idea about nvidia though, i'll try to find out if they have some sort of legacy drivers page.

Well, I couldn't find one - these sites can end up being pretty labyrinthine so I wouldn't be surprised if i had missed it. I emailed nvidia's customer support to check, but if anyone knows for sure what sort of thing I should be looking for I'd appreciate the help.

What operating system you using? >> http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_archive.html

This should work on Windows 7 64bit >> http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4a_winVista64_15.01 Release Date: July 2, 2007

Also BIOS v1.2 on page 3 and a few drivers here >> http://driverscollection.com/?H=KN9%20Ultra&By=ABIT

That last kn9 ultra bios apparently doesn't match the hardware when I try to update the BIOS, unfortunately

EDIT - trying the next one now

Thank you, Nelly - I should have made it clearer that I'm mostly looking for the latest BIOS update, I'll still try to install those though. None of those KN9 Ultra drivers (from like 20 onwards) worked though, I still get the 'hardware not compatible' error when I'm trying to patch it in DOS)

EDIT: just realised it was you before so double thank you for your help

Those last links from pastymuncher are dead, unfortunately they are also links to abit's old ftp server, and I already tried the KN9 BIOSes there, sorry :(. I just don't know what's weird about this motherboard that none of the updates work. Do you have to flash them sequentially? i.e. bios update 1 to bios update 14 or whatever? Thanks for the help, anyway :)
