Paul, I don't know about your particular card, but I know from bitter
recent experience that the isapnp (isapnptools) approach doesn't
necessarily work with some devices. I was trying to configure some NICs,
but they silently failed giving bizarre results. I finally booted the
box to DOS and configured the NICs with a DOS utility I got from Intel.
I suggest you consider the same approach. I think what you'd need for
your scsi card is at
http://www.adaptec.com/support/overview/aha1520.html. Disclaimer: the
issues for scsi cards may be different than NICs; this is outside my
small envelope of knowledge ;-)
