I FOUND THE ISSUE!

After modding the BIOS, in the AFUWIN64 (v4.48) utility, there is a checkbox for "Program All Blocks" that needs to be checked and it worked. By default, only "Main BIOS Image" is checked, which is what resulted in the loss of the "Ctrl-I" functionality and had Windows reporting a ROM version of 0.0.0.0 for the RAID.

I can now see 3TB drives and create a RAID.

Thanks for all you do!
