I'm almost positive that the SC200 will only work with specific ASUS
brand motherboards.  These particular motherboards have some of the
SCSI hardware built in and are designed to enable the use of the
SC200.

NCR makes other SCSI cards for use with non-ASUS motherboards.  

I have heard that the SC200 is a good, inexpensive SCSI card if you've
got an ASUS motherboard.  Any ethical salesperson should've told you
not to buy the SC200 unless you own an ASUS motherboard.

Of course, there's a chance that I'm completely mistaken.
