This problem has been addressed before. The BIOS and OS are in the same flashram. There is no specific BIOS on the 4100. The problem is the Original snaps used 24 bit addressing. There was a problem with the 4100 controller chip, it had a bug that did not work in 48 bit. Adaptec at the time decided it was not worth the effort to fix the problem due to flashram restraints.

There are several old threads aimed at the code uploaded to the flashram. The code is in HEX loaded to a specific address.
