UPDATE: I booted ECS1.1 and LVM did not seem to pick up the 80gig SATA
drive on the PCI card. However I booted my Warp 4 updated diskettes and
fdisk correctly shows the SATA drive. From the warp 4 boot I ran rmview
from the diskette and near as I can tell this is the PCI card:

Adapter: INT13BIOS  Int 13 BIOS Support 

      Device Type: MS-SCSI        Bus/Width: ISA 16 BIT

      IRQ Level = 11  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE
