Ancient 16 bit controller help needed

        First I tried to contact the manufactuer. they are out of
business. the model is sp-1300-R. Does anyone know what driver this
thing uses? I would like to try it in one of my NCR 3230 computers I
got for free. the card does a bios scan. Seems to be setting up
Syncronous mode! my external tape unit and bernoulli box are do not
support syncronous. thus they fail the bios scan. GRRRR!
Cannot  get it to work under scsi.s boot images under
Slackware Linux 3.5. I have not tried it with 3.9 yet however I plan
to.
        Driver uses addresses 0x330, IRQ 15, DMA 7. I cannot find a
standard SCSI chip on this thing! It is all LSI chips (one for the
floppy controller, one for the Scsi Controller). using the scsi.s
bootdsk image fails to locate this card.
        Has anyone ever heard of this thing? Does anyone got a clue of
what scsi controller chip it uses?
        If anyone has a Linux driver for it. please share it with me.
The card appears to be somewhat recent (1992).
