adaptec scsi host adapter

Can anyone out there help me out? I'm trying to install a scsi tape back up on a sys running sco openserver 5.0.4. When I go through the steps for mkdev tape it seems like it works, but when I reboot I still don't see the tape. Also when it boots up I get a scsi bios not installed error. I've checked the jumpers on the tape drive and I belive them to be set properly. The are no jumpers on the host adapter itself. The model of the adapter is Adaptec AHA 2940U2W.

One logical next troubleshooting step is to check with the OS vendor to see if their kernel support the SCSI host adapter you are trying to use & support the tape drive.

Let us know if you find a good link to this H/W documentation.
