I doubt it..
I've never heard of Qlogic...
who are they?
(and as I wrote a lot of the scsi code, that probably explains a lot about
your problem.. )
if it can run in an emulation mode (of an aha1542 or something)
it might work...
(or is it an NCR based board?)
If it's a good board and has docs then I could write a driver in about a
day if it's a 'smart' card, but if it is a "sequencer" based card.
it'd be closer to about a month :(
