Again, with the Intraserver card it depends on the PCI-ID that the card
reports. If I remember correctly, when you call Intraserver and order a
SCSI card they ask which OS you're going to use. The 'DU' cards cost more,
and they have a slightly different BIOS, the other cards (NT, Linux
etc..) will not work under DU.
