I just purchased a IIGS and a SCSI card from a local dealer.  The GS is one
of the new ones with 1MB on the mother board.  The manual for the GS says 
SCSI card roms should be rev 2.0 or later while the one on my card says
341-0437-A.  My dealer took the card and claims to have upgraded the ROM 
except that the number on it is exactly the same.  Does anyone know whtat
the story is on supported ROMs?  

Also, How do I verify that the SCSI card is functioning.  I have a 40 meg
scsi drive that I know works (address 6) that is never recognized by the
Advanced Disk utillities (SCSI card in either slot 6 or 7).  Do the
advanced disk utilities recognize all SCSI drives or is a table needed to
tell it the disk geomentry?

Thanks,
