I don't know the exact answer to your problems but I have some
background that might help.

Dell uses a "SCSI bridge" on one of their ROMB (RAID On MotherBoard)
which mimics an ahc.

The difference between the Dell PERC's is the that one is Adaptec based
and the other is AMI (now LSI) based.

For what it's worth.
