If the SCSI card provides the drives via BIOS then the ELKS BIOS disk driver may work. (It's built in by default)

If you boot the machine with a DOS disk and the drive appears without having to load any SCSI drivers, then it probably does provide drive access via BIOS.

Worth a try, at least.

it is an old seagate 8bit isa scsi-controller. works well with Dos. No need for a special driver.
