I'm restoring a few more 5150s and realized that,

adapters by
model, name, or whatever I can use to search for them on ebay?
Also, do such 8-bit adapters have an onboard BIOS? It would be
great if
I didn't have to boot off of a floppy disk just to access the hard
drive... I have a CorelSCSI card at home, but when I plug it in it
doesn't do anything at POST, and I don't have a driver or software to
test the card anyway :-/
I've used Adaptec 1542B/1542C and Always IN-2000 cards. They both
work well and have onboard BIOSes.
