Adaptec 39160 scsi problems?

Please close post..
Big Thanks belial for the support on this problem



i bought a adaptec 39160 scsi card and two HDs w/68pin cables & terminators, i cant get this card to show up as a boot device in my system bios?
i think it should scan like a promise tech or maxtor pci ide card but it dont? yep the HD is set to 0 and all the drivers are loaded in win2 serv & win98. both O/S see the HD & card and can read / write to disc..
i have one disc set closest the terminator on the 68 pin ultra cable, im not pushing my luck with both discs till i get one to boot up..
i tried moving the card in different slots as well & the only other pci bus being used is for a 3 com 10/100 card, the rest are empty.
motherboard gigabyte 8IHXP p4 2.4 1066 rdram so its not an antique "yet" and i can install a promise / maxtor pci ide card in pci slot 2 and it boots to it fine? is the card FUBAR?
also i was told this is a mac version of the card but unable to verify on adaptecs website? or what if any difference there would be between the mac & PC versions..

any help greatly appreciated i have little hair left to pull..

do you know if it's a retail adaptec card or an OEM version?
what bios version do you see for the card when you boot up?
