Unlikely, there is plan to EOL cadp, adp, cadp160 and possibly even adpu320 in OpenSolaris, I believe. > Still, it would be really nice to have, especially for people using old > hardware.

Kind of overkill, I'd > say... cadp and adp are not 64-bit-ready and there is nobody with time to make them 64-bit-ready (Adaptec's job I believe). But drivers are on Adaptec website, where they can be downloaded and they will stay there I think. Ask Adaptec for support.
