    Hi
    I have an Promise Ultra66 side controller card.

    I have installed it , installed drivers, and flashed the bios.

    But it seems like the bios does not want to work..

    When I start the computer it says that the bios is not loaded.

    Any idea as to what the problem might be.

    I am trying to install this card in an Acer Aspire 300Hz, 400Mb, 2 HDD, 2 CDroms.

    The secondary side on the mother board is bad so this is why I want to put this card in and use it.

    Hi:
    Only HDDs should be attached to that Promise controller card.
    Put your HDDs on it.
    Your system BIOS will see the card as a SCSI device so change your Boot Sequence accordingly.
    Put your disc (CD/DVD) drives on the motherbpard IDE connectors.
