Context: I have flashed ROMs in the past on various cards and motherboards in the PC world in the past. I'm wanting to flash the ROM on an Adaptec 39160 PCI-X card and use it permanently in my Quicksilver G4 tower. For clarification, this is a 64-bit PCI card, not PCIe, PCI-e, or anywhere near the latest expansion standard. It has a factory label on it from Dell (grumble grumble).
Question: Is it possible to flash the ROM in my G4 tower or would I have to use a PC to flash it?
If I have to use a PC to flash this card, I do not have a bog standard PC of any kind with a PCI-X slot in it whereas the Quicksilver does. The SST29EE010 chip on the card is soldered straight to the card. I do have a TL866-II+ programmer, but my soldering skills are questionable at this point and I don't have the PLCC32 to DIP adapter on hand. Any assistance/advice provided is appreciated.
