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 ;-) Stan
