In that case, I can't explain what you're seeing, but probably the "SCSI 
BIOS not installed" message is a red herring, and I wouldn't worry about 
it. At least, I wouldn't worry about it first. Maybe there are two 
separate channels on that card? Or maybe it's one of the ones where the 
internal and external sides are enabled independently? Or maybe your 
scanner doesn't handle active termination well, so that end of the chain 
isn't terminated? Personally, I think the card is probably OK and it's 
something else.

I guess, follow the instructions the other respondent sent to get 
started. Try compaq.com first, and adaptec.com second for bios & 
firmware updates.
