Has anyone heard of drivers for Linux for the SIIG SCSI
Controller SCSI-PRO VL?

It has been working great for me for MS DOS and OS/2, but
Linux doesn't recoginze it.

1. SIIG SCSI Controller SCSI-PRO VL

I've got a SIIG SCSI controller that I'm trying to get my 1.2.13 (or 1.3.81)
linux box to see. It's supposed to "coexist with an existing IDE controller",
although I can't tell you what that's supposed to mean. Using debug, I got the
following output when querying the controller's BIOS:

The card itself resides at I/O address 160-16f, BIOS address is c800 (0xc8000),
interrupt 11. Linux just gives me a "0 Hosts Detected" message at bootup, and I
can't even get it to recognize it using lilo boot parameters. Has anyone used
this card, or know how I might get it to work? Looking at the board itself, the
only distinguishing mark it has is that it has a Qlogic FAS246 chip on it.
(Enabling Qlogic SCSI has no effect, have gone through just about every low
level driver that remotely looked like it might work.)
