IBM Firmware Disks
UPDATE: These files are slightly out of date. If you are interested in updated floppies with the latest version, send me an e-mail and I will dig them up.
Have you ever had to flash IBM Blade Adapter cards from DOS? As more and more of our blades go out the door in a boot from SAN configuration, I find myself using these disks with increased frequency.
I created these disks the other day and it I thought they would be a good addition to the site. I created the disks using the driver free boot disk from bootdisk.com. After I extracted the boot disk, I added the files needed from Q-logic for the HBA and the iSCSI TOE cards. Both downloads are in an IMG format so they should upload as a virtual floppy into the Advanced Management Module without any problems. If you would like to create a physical floppy, download EMT4 from this site.
