Adaptec SCSI card troubles

Hi

Something has gone wrong with my Adaptec card SCSI card and I need to install the BIOS for it.

Unfortuantly I brought the card second hand and it is quite old so I can not get technical support from Adaptec.

It would seem that I need an EPROM programmer to program a new BIOS chip. The only way I know of getting the EPROM programmer is through Adaptec does anybody have this software?

Also - if I can not solve my problem by programming the BIOS could I just buy another SCSI card to solve it? ie is the BIOS actually on the card or in the Windows XP operating system?

Thanks

I would just get another SCSI card - was there any particular reason you wanted to get the adaptec working?

I have been having trouble for a while now

Wavelab still does not recognise my e5000. Could this be caused by the BIOS not being installed?

However my computer does realise that the e5000 is connected to it and does recognise the SCSI link.
