I've got this same card working under Linux (just the SCSI, not the sound 
part). It is the TMC 8xx/950 series bus. It is an 8-bit bus with no BIOS. I 
had to append a memory location/interupt statement to the linux boot 
command line to get it to recognize the card because of the no BIOS.

I just got Linux going a couple of days ago. I will experiment with the Sound 
Blaster compatibility, but the SCSI bus for the CD works fine.
