In his original email he noted that the BIOS doesn't let him disable the
controller entirely.

Nope, you have a DK440LX motherboard, he has an R440LX motherboard.  The
difference is in the SCSI controller.  Yours is a 7895, his is a 7880.  BTW,
the latest driver at my ftp site works quite well with the aic7895 on the
DK440LX motherboard.
