Mysterious non-existent TI card reader?

  1. Okay so basically I have a Sony VGN-NR120E here...
    It has a card reader... a Texas Instruments one...

    I can't find a driver for it to save my life.

    Recently upgraded it from Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit.
    Sony's site has no drivers for it apparently...

    This is what the device manager says for Hardware IDs
    PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_803B&SUBSYS_ 902D104D&REV_00

    I have found several SIMILAR devices with drivers, but nothing for this one.

    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    I just don't understand it. If I use any drivers from SIMILAR readers, when I try and read an SD card, it asks me to format it, even though it's already formatted. :(

    I have finally found the driver for this thing...
    Took several hours of looking sadly, but at last... here it is:

    This driver seems to work perfectly. I don't quite understand why Sony doesn't have this available on their site under the Windows 7 drivers... because you clearly need it if you're going to put Windows 7 on the computer.
