If the SCSI card provides the drives via BIOS then the ELKS BIOS disk
driver may work. (It's built in by default)
If you boot the machine with a DOS disk and the drive appears without
having to load any SCSI drivers, then it probably does provide drive
access via BIOS.
Worth a try, at least.

works well with Dos. No need for a special driver.
