The cable seems to me being physically identical to a normal
IDE-cable(I even tried fitting an IDE-cable to the connector of
the card and it fitted ok). I guess signals must be really
different, because there's no separate power cable to the disk.

No it doesn't. Well, I didn't try with all possible low-level SCSI
drivers compiled in, but I tried 2.0.33 (I thought that would be
enough because there's no much new SCSI drivers in development
kernels (at least not such that would be relevant in this case))
with few rand() low-level drivers.
