No - NOT the PC - the hardware that's in question. The Adaptec WITH the 
modified code. I'm willing to bet, it's not.
Keep on target - don't toss other crap to divert. Stick to the one part 
of the hardware that IS the red hearing.

Again - I doubt that that perticulare Adaptec WITH the modifide code is 
listed. Now I'll bet an untouched Adaptec is.

The PC is NOT the issue. The modified Adaptec IS. Stay on target, stay 
on target.

No - not worthless - NOT SUPPORTED. Just like the HCL that MS puts out. 
Another thing to understand, most of the HP added code is related to 
SNMP. That's what HP/Compaq does. Now, you also need to realize that the 
drivers under NT talk to HAL (Hardware Abstration Layer) which happenes 
to be far more forgiving of altered code then something under Unix where 
the driver talks directly to the hardware.

Think about it.
