I have an Adaptec 2940 Ultra adapter in a PC with the A7M266 MB. It's running W2000 Pro.
The adapter has a Plextor CD-ROM and CD-RW installed.
The devices are running, though not as fast as I had expected.
What's bothering me is that during bootup the Award BIOS initializes the Adaptec card and the Plextor devices. But then the Adaptec card displays the message "SCSI BIOS not installed."
What can cause the adapter to not load its own BIOS? I am stumped where to look. I've opened Adaptec's SCSI Select utility but everything looks fine. Anyway, I'm guessing that there is a conflict somewhere.
