Ummm.. well still no luck.
I read all the install docs and manually copied
all the files to the correct dirs.
But I'm not getting the 'Adaptec installed' on the boot
screen. I still think I'm missing something in the setup.
Device Manager properties says the drivers are installed
and working correctly.
I'm just not convinced yet that the card is bad, it does
work on the 50 pin side.
But I can't bring up 'ScsiSlect'.
Any other ideas before I scrap this card??
Press CTRL-A when it's listing the drives attached to the card during the boot process. If you'd like, do it with the 50 pin drive first, so you'll know you have something to look for. (If you're not seeing *that,* you probably have a rather odd PC -- does it have a graphical splash screen at startup, with a Compaq or Acer logo that fills the whole screen?... or there's some vague chance the card's ROM was misflashed at once point in time... or! you have a Mac edition of the card. If either of the latter two oddities, you can probably correct it by running the appropriate flash utility... if you can figure out what that is. It's vaguely plausible that Windows could drive a card with the 'wrong' ROM for the platform, but that the driver may make certain assumptions about things the proper one would set up 'ahead of time.')
In any case, once into the utility (similar to a BIOS configuration screen), you should have the option to enable various things (it's true the card BIOS shouldn't matter, and I'm not sure about Int13h off the top of my head... but let's put it this way: they won't *hurt,* so you may as well) -- and to set termination, scan the bus, run low level formats or perhaps diagnostics, etc.
If you can get in there once, hook up the 68 pin drive, and do whatever seems plausible to test that things work.

What are you using for termination with the Fujitsu right now?
