(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Michael Anthon <mca at tams.com.au>)

I have an AHA-1510A that I managed to get to work.  The down side is, as you
mentioned, no on-board bios.  The trick here is to pass the scsi parameters
to the kernel at boot time 

	http://www.tams.com.au/howto/BootPrompt-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.2

The particular bit of interest is this....
	aha152x=iobase[,irq[,scsi-id[,reconnect[,parity]]]]

This has one nasty side effect if you are using scsi for all your disks,
that being that you can't boot from a scsi device, you need either an IDE
HDD as your boot device or boot from a floppy.

Cheers
