My Adaptecs (1542, 2940) came with those drivers (HD, CD-ROM, even for removable media such as MO drives) and a bunch of tools for partitioning, formatting and verifying drives, a simple CD audio player, and other stuff I never needed. Of course, the bulk versions of the adapters don't come with those drivers -- that's why they're called "bulk". Other vendors have driver-less bulk versions of their products, too, so this is not an Adaptec special.
