Linux, by default looks for a BIOS. However, all you need to do to get the SB16 SCSI to work is to add a SETUP line in your drivers/scsi/aha152x.c file.
ie. /* For PCMCIA cards, always use AUTOCONF */ #if defined(PCMCIA) || defined(MODULE) /* #if !defined(AUTOCONF) #define AUTOCONF #endif */ #define SETUP0 {0x340,12,7,1,1} #endif
This is how I've done it, and it works fine.
0x340 io port IRQ 12 SCSI ID 7 parity and reconnect enabled
Modify to your configuration.
