well, let's see... the drive itself is a wangtek model 5099en24 with a 
chip on it reading "20585-001 rev a", and three jumpers i can see:

tng/tg (tng is set), w1 (open)e1 (open) hc 10/5 (set to 5). Ah, and 
here's more i missed: ihc and three banks, HDR 1, 2 and 3, with 4 2 and 8 
sets of pins, respectively., with #2, none, and #4&#8 jumpered.

the card is harder to identify...

the best i can do is describe that it has a bank of 10 switches, a hoard 
of individual jumpers, and then jumpers for irq drq and ack.

i'll recompile the kernel and toss it in to see what happenes and let you 
know. Wish me luck!
