Depends on how the SCSI card is used.  If it's needed for booting, I think
you're essentially hosed.  If it's for other attachments (scanner, CD writer,
secondary disk, etc.) you could simply boot into the old system, delete the
old Adaptec driver and add the new Tekram one.  Come to think of it, that may
be the way to go before removing the old SCSI card on the original
installation - install the new driver and remove the old one before shutting
down that last time.  Don't reboot until the new system is in place.
