Hi Tim,
Here's something to tuck away for future reference, since it may not help
this specific problem.  Several "missing" drivers are omitted by design.
 After purchasing Future Domain, Adaptec at one time had posted drivers for
the Future Domain 16xx series ISA SCSI-2 cards.  I have 2 Future Domain
1680 (with boot BIOS) and have found the drivers on the Win95 CD work best.
 After downloading Adaptec's posted files, I decided not to use them.

The first time I ran across this was for a video card with a Cirrus Logic
chip.  Microsoft has saved me from several web searches for drivers by
providing some basic ones on the win95 and NT cd.

If your adventurous, you might try installing win95 to a new directory.  It
could surprise you by locating and recognizing the card without further
effort.

Hi All,
  I'm working on a pc for a fellow and it has an Adaptec AVA-1502E
scsi card in it to interface an external zip drive. I need to reload
win95 on this pc but I'm hesitant to wax it till I've gotten the
correct drivers for this card. I've looked on Adaptecs pages and find
no reference to this model.
