Well, I found my box of boards, and it had 2 more AHA-1742A and 7
AHA-1740A boards. I haven't yet found a 1740B or 1742B in any of my boxes,
but I'll keep a look out and let you know if one turns up, that is, if you
still need the bios and microcode images.
I also found a pair of AHA-2742AT EISA SCSI controllers. Anyone familiar
with these?

I may have some other models of Adaptec EISA SCSI
boards in the same box,
I'll have to look. I tend to collect odd boards for PC stuff to test Linux
and BSD drivers.
I forgot to mention that AFAICT, DEC uses custom microcode with these,
because when I tried to use the version "I" microcode off Adaptec's
site, even OpenVMS 7.2 wouldn't install anymore. My experience with
Digital Unix and OpenVMS 7.2 on an Aspen Alpine and a 164LX tend to
support that idea. What I'd really like to find is Compaq's archive
stash. If any of that still exists.
