The only method I can see is where you can provide a disk with the drivers to startup. But the drivers are standard Win2K drivers. There IS no disk (except the Win2K CD ROM)

You're hosed - the 1510 does not have the necessary boot ROMs to allow you to use it as your primary disk controller. You can get devices on it recognized, but something other than a device on the 1510 needs to boot and load the necessary drivers. You'd have to replace the 1510 with a bootable HA to do this.
