Mike,

This is the Ultra DMA66 controller which must be installed from the cd.
Instructions for installing the driver are in appendix "D" of your manual.
If you install it,  it will use one IRQ and show up under SCSI devices in
"Device Manager".  As I remember it needed an IRQ by itself and could not
share an IRQ with any other devices.
