On my old P-90 motherboard (with daughterboard) it was and Adaptec chip,
on my new P-90 motherboard (without daughterboard) it is an AMD chip.

Unbeknownst to me, I had to repartition my SCSI drive to get the machine
to boot from the AMD SCSI bios, because it didn't recognize the Adaptec
SCSI boot partition data.  More hassles, and tech support people who didn't
know what was going on.
