This page tells how to do it from AlphaBIOS, and supplies a pointer to the
last version (v5.8):

The last version of SRM for LX/SX indeed DOES have Adaptec support, but it
is limited. The only controllers I've successfully used from SRM on LX are:

	2940UW (and ONLY UW)
	39160 (Ultra160 dual channel :-)

Other controllers, like 29160 (single U160), 2940U2W, 2940U, 3950, etc,
are NOT supported by SRM, though they will work fine from Linux...

Good luck.
