Well, now Anthony, that Adaptec AIC BIOS version indicates that it's a
HP-modded microcode in the controller.  (that is what the trailing -HP
means)

You can't replace it with standard Adaptec microcode for something like
a 2740 card because HP might have modded it to get around some hardware
issue on the Vectra.

It is also possible HP's mod did something nonstandard with the Adaptec
chipset which the FreeBSD driver doesen't know about.
