As you already doubted it, the two-tone signal generated
by the mac signifies that the boot-up hardware tests weren't
successful. The four tone chime that follows signals that
the macII entered the test monitor (a goodie that can only be
used by your tech rep, as it requires a special scsi test
board to be connected). The monitor is automatically entered upon
a failure in the startup tests.

Now to your problem. As far as I can tell from your posting,
the problem is with the adaptec board, not with the SCSI port.
Try to disconnect the board and reboot. The Mac should boot 
with the internal drive without any problems. If you still
get the failure sounds, well... you'll need one of these
motherboard swaps (you know that lightbulb joke, don't you?).
