    Looks like the Dandelion page glimmers out after 19 Sept 2004 http://web.archive.org/web/20040918081151/http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/DAC960.html

    Linux DAC960 Driver -- Production Version 2.2.11 and 2.4.11 Released
    I am pleased to announce that the eleventh production release of the
    Linux DAC960 driver is now available as version 2.2.11 for Linux 2.2.19
    and version 2.4.11 for Linux 2.4.12. This version of the driver includes support for all the current Mylex PCI RAID controllers, including the eXtremeRAID 2000, eXtremeRAID 3000, AcceleRAID 352, AcceleRAID 170, and AcceleRAID 160, which have an entirely new firmware interface, as well
    as the older eXtremeRAID 1100 (DAC1164P), the AcceleRAID 150/200/250,
    and the DAC960PJ/PG/PU/PD/PL models. In addition, this release provides support for older DAC960PU/PD/PL/P models with firmware version 2.73.

    Linux is supported on all Mylex controllers with firmware 3.51 or
    higher. Support for the AcceleRAID 170, AcceleRAID 352, eXtremeRAID 2000
    and eXtremeRAID 3000 requires the DAC960 driver 2.2.9 or higher.-a Source code and driver documentation can be downloaded from the author's web
    page at http://www.dandelion.com/Linux.

    This is the IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapter, an IBM-branded Mylex DAC960P single-flash ROM controller.

    The Linux kernel 2.4.31 documentation states that the DAC960P requires firmware version 2.73-0-00 or higher for single-flash ROM controllers. https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.31.tar.gz
    (See Linux-2.4.31/Documentation/README.DAC960)

    The latest firmware provided by IBM is version 2.43b. https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-scsi-2-fastwide-pci-raid-adapter-firmware-update-diskette-v243b-servers

    Mylex offers firmware version 2.73 for the DAC960P single-chip
    controller (fwpd273.exe). http://web.archive.org/web/20010508090218/http://www.mylex.com/pub/support/archive/dac960_pci/00index.txt

    However, I will not be flashing the IBM DAC960P with Mylex firmware.
