After downloading the bios upgrade and trying to figure out how to use
it from the instructions... One thing is not clear to me, does the
procedure write something to the chip on the card or to the system
(pc) bios.  

Also I don't see any evidence this upgrade would make the card work
with those 750 drives.

Even worse, I'd have to install the card on a different machine since
the one I needed it for has no floppy.  And it appears I'd either need
to install it on a windows machine or install a little free dos
application that allows user to create a bootable floppy to get the
job done.

I'm starting to wonder if this is really worth the effort when I may
find it still doesn't work for newer 750s.

I think I'd almost have to hear from someone who has used it with
newer drives to keep on with it.  

It cost $42 which I hate to just throw away, but there is some chance
the Digiconepts that I bought it from will give me some kind of
exchange for something known to work in the situation I need it in. 

You've helped me an awful lot.  I wish I new your tricks for turning
up information... it always seems to take me forever to find what I
need on the internet.
