64-bit drivers and software for VAIO VGN-Z11XN/B

[egilst]

Hi,

I have installed Windows 7 RC 64-bit version on my Z11. After enormous efforts finally I have Graphics card and Chipset drivers installed. But anyway following functions are not available:
* fingerprint reader
* Sony disk management stuff (disk protection, restore etc.)
* Power management
* Memory card reader

There are some trobleshoot messages about problems with:

* SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller
* 2 unknow devices

Could you recommend me where can I get help on these problems and all the necessary software?

BR, Egils

Sony provide drivers at vaio-link site:

there are links to some 64 bit drivers.

I used installer for Ricoh MS memory card reader which appears in Device Manager as an unknown 'Base System Device':

Used this driver for SD reader which appears in Device Manager as 'SDA standard compliant SD host controller':
ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/ORIGINAL/MEMORY_CARD_READER_WRITER_DRIVER_RICOH_SD_6.3X64_K_6.3.2.2...
Also found this:
ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/ORIGINAL/MEMORY_CARD_READER_WRITER_DRIVER_RICOH_MS_6.3X64_I_6.3.0.6...
which would probably have worked for memory card reader.
