HP Netserver LC3 Win2k Drivers

[Dustin_9]

I wish to convert my old LC3 from a WinNT Server OS to Win2k for use as a workstation. Is this possible? If so, all I need is drivers for the RAID controller and other components, right? I think win2k comes with drivers for most of the hardware, but I'm not sure about the RAID controller... TIA.

Depends on the raid controller. Netraid controllers that were sold in the era of the LC3 will be part of Win2k, however, if you have a newer netraid card such as 4m/2m/1m, then you will have download drivers.

The original NetRAID (D4943A, 3 channel UW) and the NetRAID-1 are not supported by HP under Windows 2000. Newer NetRAID cards are supported (1Si, 3Si, 1M, 2M, & 4M). Do recommend the HP Windows 2000 driver for the NetRAID = mraid2k.sys version 5.20
Some people have gotten Windows 2000 to work with the older NetRAID, but behavior can range from no problem to very erratic.
