Cannot get into BIOS of Advansys ABP-3925-01 Fast SCSI-card

[KeillRandor]

I have:
Asus A7V133-c rev 1.05. with 1007 BIOS (newest i think)
Athlon xp 1600+
192mb pc100
SBlive Platinum
D-link 530tx 10/100
H+ mpeg2
Geforce 256 SDRAM (Asus 6800?)
Yamaha 6/4/16 cd/rw
Piooner U-303 dvd (5x ?)
win98/xp dual

Here's from ConnectCom solutions site (Advansys):

"Q1: How do I get into the BIOS of the SCSI card?

A1: When you boot the computer the AdvanceWare Banner will display. This will allow you to press Ctrl-A to get into the options for the SCSI Card. If there is no AdvanceWare Banner, check the following:

For PCI cards:
Make sure PCI card is properly seated
Make sure ROM chip is seated completely
Try another PCI slot
On ABP-960/ABP-970 (ASC1200) Change jumper from Mac or Disable to PC position "

The card is working perfectly fine except that I can't get into the BIOS (No banner show up), it is supposed to have a flash-rom BIOS. I need to enable CD-booting on the SCSI card, cause I think it's disabled (I can't get CD-booting to work).

Any1 experienced this ?

have you tried listing the scsi card as the first boot device in your motherboards bios and then pressing ctrl+A?

there may be a jumper on the card to enable/disable bios.

also the card may not have a bootable bios.

I've tried to list the SCSI-card as the first boot device,"ATA-100 internal Boot/SCSI" in the boot menu in bios but it didn't help.
I've not found a jumper on the card...

A bootable bios ? What is that ?

As I understand it, all cards from Advansys come with bios wich could be entered at startup with Ctrl-A. I think it's weird if the card has BIOS (Which it should have...)
and that "Banner" that does not show up on boot, and still working perfectly fine ! *sigh*

All had been OK if the card had been "CD-rom boot" enabled... Now I can't boot OS-CD's which I need to do.

Well...
