Alice invited me in for a spot 'o tea down in the rabbit hole.

I'm looking for another Jabberwocky, the Microsoft iSCSI Software
Initiator, version 1.0 [I think].

It does not look good.

Versions I know of:
1.06
1.05
1.03
1.02

There is a small chance that a W98 version exists, bundled with an iSCSI
HBA. Which one, I dunno.

Also, there are external iSCSI bridges, which might also have a W98
iSCSI initiator. Maybe. Possumbly. Might.

Hello ! Did you find any iSCSI initiator version 1.0x ? I had no success until now. I've been searching for it since few years ago.
The oldest version I have here is 2.08. If you have an oldest ( any 1.0x ) please share with me on a GoogleDrive, OneDrive or any download link, please. israe...@outlook.com

I would like to check if the versions 1.0x could work with Windows NT 4.0 Server in order to build a Microsoft Failover Cluster. I had success building it for Windows Server 2000 ( but using the initiator 2.08 ). worked nicely.

Thank a lot !

I found the pages, but the links are dead. I'll give 'er another go, but
I expect abysmal failure... Look on the bright side of life...

I don't know if you are still looking, but I managed to find the
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 1.06 version. It was in a pack of drivers:
http://www.hvr.biz/file_ids/5532.html

With the name of the driver pack file, SP31037.EXE, I then found a
download link:

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/swd/detail?swItemId=MTX_UNITY_I23351

With the iSCSI Initiator installer, I uploaded it to Archive.org in case
anyone else needs it:

https://archive.org/details/1.06-initiator-x-86fre

The only problem was that I couldn't get it to install without errors on
Windows 98 SE, with the log file showing I needed to use it on 2000, XP
or 2003. Even though it created the files on 98, none of the .EXE would
run, complaining about the lack of a few .DLLs

Hello Louis!
Thank you for answer.
I downloaded your 1.06 version and I got same error trying to use it on Windows NT Server 4.0. Complaining about Kernell32.dll. It seems, maybe we need older versions. Perhaps, 1.01, 1.03 or 1.04. If you find it, please share with us. I got to install it on Windows 2000 Server with success.
Thanks a lot !
