Hey, I just had a hunch and tried it and it worked. :-)

Most likely the 53c710 SCSI controller.

I will be replacing this box within the next few months, so it will be
available for testing anything after that.
You also mentioned writing a driver for some TI based NICs. I believe
I have a NetFlex-2 EISA Token-Ring/Ethernet NIC around here that I
could test such things out on, if that is indeed the kind of thing
you're writing the driver for.
