This is strange. I upgraded to the latest srm firmware from the digital site
and it was unable to recognize anything except floppy and ethernet card so I
went back to alphabios.
Is there some magic incantation involved to get the Adaptec recognized after
upgrading the firmware ?

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
