I have a non-ASUS motherboard (Gigabyte I think is what it's called)
and it has an SC200 in it that the machine boots off of.  There is
no scsi-hardware on the motherboard itself and unless I'm mistaken,
there's no NCR firmware in the BIOS.  At least, the motherboard
manual makes no mention of NCR firmware.  The BIOS is Award.
