Let's start with some history: it was February 2020 and I was rummaging through eBay when I found this little gem (I've always loved the design of IBM computers, albeit with some exceptions). When I get to the computer it was pretty dirty, dust everywhere and rust on the case (but fortunately …

Thank you ! Will add them. Edit: looks like EZ-SCSI 5 Lite was the scsi driver. Actually for the scsi chipset I searched for drivers based on the chip serial number and so I found two drivers, one of which looks like the latest one released by Adaptec. If they can help I add them to the post. And …
