ROMPAq failure on 3200 controller

[Alan Sidles_2]

Contoller was working fine in a Proliant 3000. We are going to install Windows 2003 so we decided to update the ROM on the controller to ensure compatibility. We booted from the ROMPaq disk version 2.59 and it recognised the controller. The version was older so we selected to update. The update process started OK, but then came back with a failed error. We tried to flash again, no deal. So we rebooted to make another clean attempt. Now we find the controller is not recognized at all by the system or the ROMPaq disks. How do we restore this contoller? Surely it's not toast!
