IIRC the 1850 didn't come with a built-in RAID card, a period-correct

card would probably be a SA 3200, which I think has built-in setup

firmware (press F8 during boot).  I think the software for all of

Compaq's RAID cards are still available (at least Smart/2 and later),

you'll just have to have 3.5" floppies.  I know at least the last pre-G1

Proliants (1850, 1600, 6500, 6400, 8500, etc.) work with Smartstart 5.5,

which can be downloaded from HP as an ISO.

Yes.  I think you'll still need to configure several Raid0 volumes, one

per physical disk.  I guess that's not quite JBOD, but the result is the

same.
