Your .ADD driver is not loading because it cannot find your SCSI
controller. This is pretty standard OS driver behavior.

While it is possible your copy of the .add driver is bad,
it is more likely that the hardware is not responding correctly
for the driver to detect it.

You must do whatever you can to make the card visible to the driver.
Re-seating is the first step. Swapping it out with a known good card
could be useful, too. Try disconnecting anything that could interfere.

As an example, I once found that the dpt? .add driver, if if it even
_attempted_ to load BEFORE the Symbios driver, would prevent would prevent
recognition and initialization of my Symbios/LSI logic host adapter.
