[Completed] Device drivers - old and hard to find - BTC bounty

[PatrickHarnett]

I am in need of a device driver for an older piece of equipment, and having spent quite a lot of time on this, have decided to offer a BTC bounty for a valid/working version.  Not making it easier is the fact there are two OS's that are acceptable and two similar cards.

OS: XP or W2k  (if you come up with Win95, Win98, Win server 2k3 that would be ok but less desirable - Win98 would be the preference from those.)

Device part number:
161290-001 also know as 120186-B21 or
005106-001

These are Compaq fibre channel (FC) host bus adaptors (HBA) for PCI running 66MHz.  They are used to connect from either a dual xeon III server (PowerEdge2650) or a PE2550 (dual P3) to a SCSI external raid array.  It happens that there is some information on the RAID array that I think is there and useful.  Various rebuilds over the years and my original versions are not available.

Minimum bounty is 2BTC (not knowing what is a fair sum).

I think that one is for a 33MHz only

Thanks guys - I will test tomorrow.  Stupid HP site didn't get me to those locations this time around.

The drivers worked.  Took a few goes to find a floppy that I could write the files to (part of the install), but it picked up the two FC HBAs no problem and then spotted the RAID array on the restart.

The files I was looking for from 1996/97 were not there, so they're obviously gone from another computer years ago (shame).
