It's Adaptec 2940, here's info from lunux kernel:
(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 2/0
(scsi0) Narrow Channel, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs
(scsi0) BIOS disabled, IO Port 0xf800, IRQ 9
(scsi0) IO Memory at 0xfffdc000, MMAP Memory at 0x6805000
Nothing special there...

PS. I have attached my assembler program which I have used to determine
the value in dl register (just to let you all check it out). Sorry for
using format understood by DOS assemblers only, I am not familiar
with gas' format.
