I hosed the Adaptec BIOS trying to upgrade it on my 2940UW with a Gateway
sticker. Apparently to Adaptec, that Gateway sticker absolves them of
any responsibility. At one point, the computer would boot with the
card in it, but obviously couldn't use it. After searching around
the newsgroups people mentioned the FLASH4.EXE program didn't like the
motherboard chipsets. I tried the FLASH3.EXE, which didn't flash
the BIOS correctly, either. So now, the computer hangs on boot with
the card in it. Is there any way to make this card functional again?
Thanks for any help.
