AIC-7899G is a version of Adaptec's AIC-7899 2 Channel /
Wide / Ultra160 / 64 bit / 66 MHz chip, that corresponds
to Adaptec 39160 SCSI adapter family.
Although Adaptec offers drivers for its major line of SCSI
adapters, the G version of AIC-7899 may have been
specially modified for Dell as an OEM. Adaptec usually
warn against using standard drivers for OEM versions of
their adapters, and you have to contact Dell for the right
driver.
