Netware 4.01?  I'm not too sure what that is (is it ELS netware?)
Anyway, with SFT 2.1, this would work.  The Adaptec does not run as
is as a Netware file server disk controller.  The ATDISK.OBJ file
(I think on Support) must be copied over to a DSK_DRV_01 type disk
and some patches done.  However, these do *not* work too well. Another
fix is (supposedly) to get an official driver from Adaptec that they get
from Ontrack Systems (the maker of Disk Manager).  This is supposed
ti work better.  Or you could do as I have done.... dumped the Adaptec
for a Western Digital that is supported under SFT 2.12.
