[rescue] Anyone have the eisacfg for a Dell PowerEdge 2200?

I bought a Dell PowerEdge 2200 for almost nothing.  It has the following specs:

64MB RAM, 
onboard dual Adaptec SCSI controllers
SCSI CD 
SCSI disk (9 GB), 
1 x 233MHz Pentium II MMX
   -- can be a dual process configuration with up to 2 x 333MHz Pentium II --
Intel 10/100Mb card
Sound Blaster 16
MPEG decoder card
3Com 3c509b  

Anyway, to get a 333MHz processor in this thing I need to bring the BIOS up to
version A05 (I downloaded A07 from Dell this afternoon), but I also need the
eisacfg (yep, it's got both an EISA bus as well as a PCI bus) program which
can be found only on the Dell Server Supplemental CD (I think that's right).
Any one got one?  I not completely sure how this program fits into getting
the thing to recognize a second processor but that seems to be what the docs
are indicating.  I can get this thing to be a dual Pentium II 266MHz system 
without mucking with the BIOS and all, but I'd really like to get it humming
at 333MHz (yeah, I know...why am I wasting my time and money with this 
puppy...hey, it was cheap).  I do know, however, that I can get it to go 
beyond the 512MB max that Dell says it will do...I've seen some info stating
that these things will take a maximum of 4GB of memory (of course, I need to
find 168 pin ECC DIMMs for it).  Any help would be appreciated.
