Following myself up: if I work my way down from that link, to
download.adaptec.com, it says it's down for maintenance; if I click on the
downloads link at the top right, it takes me to a page that wants the
model, and AAC just isn't there. I've also tried searching the site for
storman, storage manager, and Adaptec storage manager, and get nothing at
all.

And I'm sure it's long out of warranty, so they won't even let me contact
them.

       mark, getting very frustrated with Adaptec
