SCSI Pass Through Issue

I've searched and searched, and can't seem to find any information on this. Running a server 2003 VM and trying to get it to recognize my SCSI card. The card is an Adaptec SCSI 48300. I wanted to test this for attaching my tape library. However, either it just will not work, or I'm just dumb and don't know what I'm doing in this beta version. I go to add SCSI passthrough device, but all I see listed is the CDrom and LocalHardDisk. Any ideas? Thanks anyone for any help.

Sorry, cut and paste did not work. From the Add Hardware or New Virtual Machine wizard, click Passthrough SCSI Device. Select a SCSI device to use. A physical SCSI device must be attached to the device, and it must be connected to the virtual machine. (Optional) In the Virtual Device Node section, select a SCSI adapter and device node from the drop-down menus.Click OK.

Yeah, I tried all that before posting. Problem is, there is no SCSI device to select from the drop down menu. I'm guessing this card just will not work with RC1. Thanks anyways. :)

Can you walk though what you are doing and share what the Web Access screen show? Also, is the VM powered off or suspended?
