Ok, I do see they had a series of MegaRAID SATA 150-xx and 300-xx cards, these were 64 bit PCI or PCI-X cards. 95Q9 does not appear to be a valid card number, 9240, 9260, 9280 are some pci-express SAS MegaRaid cards.... if you want help, please don't guess what you have, figure out what it actually is. the output of `lspci -nn` will identify all boards in your system, for instance... # lspci -nn 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 5520 I/O Hub to ESI Port [8086:3406] (rev 13) 00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub PCI Express Root Port 1 [8086:3408] (rev 13) 00:03.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub PCI Express Root Port 3 [8086:340a] (rev 13) 00:07.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub PCI Express Root Port 7 [8086:340e] (rev 13) 00:09.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 7500/5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub PCI Express Root Port 9 [8086:3410] (rev 13) 00:14.0 PIC [0800]: Intel Corporation 7500/5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub System Management Registers [8086:342e] (rev 13) 00:14.1 PIC [0800]: Intel Corporation 7500/5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub GPIO and Scratch Pad Registers [8086:3422] (rev 13) 00:14.2 PIC [0800]: Intel Corporation 7500/5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub Control Status and RAS Registers [8086:3423] (rev 13) 00:1a.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 [8086:3a37] 00:1a.7 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 [8086:3a3c] 00:1c.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) PCI Express Root Port 1 [8086:3a40] 00:1c.4 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) PCI Express Root Port 5 [8086:3a48] 00:1d.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 [8086:3a34] 00:1d.1 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 [8086:3a35] 00:1d.2 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 [8086:3a36] 00:1d.7 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 [8086:3a3a] 00:1e.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge [8086:244e] (rev 90) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation 82801JIR (ICH10R) LPC Interface Controller [8086:3a16] 00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller [8086:3a22] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd.
