okay so tell us where to get an eprom programmer, this is what the
adaptec web site says 
(This is the BIOS Hex code (Intel Hex format) for the EPROM based
standard AHA-2940 boards. Using this file, you may use an EPROM
programmer to program a new BIOS chip. This BIOS will only work with
standard AHA-2940 with Autoterm boards with a previous checksum of
either "1800" (Version 1.20) or "CE00" (Version 1.21).
this is the posted bios upgrade...

 is one.
You'll probably need an eraser also if you want to reuse the existing
chip.

	SHAMELESS SELF-PLUG ALERT! For those who choose not to purchase a
programmer (good ones are not cheap no matter how you look at it), I also
offer EPROM (and lots of other programmable devices) programming services,
SCSI device testing services, and media-format translation/duping.
	And no, posting to three newsgroups does not constitute "spamming."

 chips.
different only that an EPROM/PROM has a Vpp pin you won't find on a masked
ROM (for obvious reasons). Pinout other than that is the same, and hence
rom/eprom are interchangable in use.

get onto Adaptec tech support via their web-page, since the AU is
the 'retail product' version (and hence qualifies for full support), you
should be able to get a new BIOS prom off them (I've done this twice - 1.21
to 1.30 and 1.30 to 1.32) - normally for no cost too (good on adaptec for
having decent support!!).
I'm not sure why they still have the 1.21 bios image on their site - it's
miles out of date.

miles out of date.
Thanks for the info!!!
I wasn't aware of this fact...

No. . . multiple postings is not spam.  Commercial use is!
