I do have copies of their source tree that were rescued shortly after they went under (at the time, the source was still available via bitkeeper, I don't know if it is now), and I'm happy to give a copy to anyone who wants it, but it doesn't really seem necessary since the real problems were with the PCI initialization code and not with the qlogicisp driver. Even using their module didn't fix the SCSI initialization problems I was seeing, and IIRC the code doesn't compile cleanly in 2.6 due to kernel API changes.
