Rebuilding an old HP dc5800 to Windows 8.1 64 and a pesky PCI Simple Communications Controller can’t find its driver. Its hardware id is:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_29D4&SUBSYS_281E103C&REV_02
Googlin’ turns up lots of dead links. It’s the Intel Management Engine Interface, and here is the driver.
Yeah, I know the title of this post overruns the right column. I figure by having the hardware id be the post title it will be easier for people in need to find, so I’m leaving it.
Thank you. I ran into all sort of idiots out there who claimed this could not be done and the driver does not exist. What a bunch of wannabe IT dumb asses who all said “You cant upgrade, you have to roll back to Windows 7”.
Thanks for the driver. Worked for me on Windows 10 – on an HP DC5800.
