I have an MCA SCSI adapter with IBM FRU 11H3600. All I've been
able to find out is this is for either an RS/6000 or a PS/2,
depending on the firmware. I can't find the reference disk on
IBM's web or ftp site, and I can't find any way to tell which
firmware is loaded without the reference disk.
Can anyone help point me to the file?

That's Feature Code 2415 in the RS/6000 world. You can get
RS/6000 microcode updates at
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro/download.html#adapter and info
at
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/library/hardware_docs/index.ht…
the SA38-0533-06 pdf.
I didn't find anything at all showing that card to work in a PS/2. The
fact that it has an RS/6000 FRU # means it probably has RS6k microcode.
Probably none of that's what you wanted to know. :(

If it an RS6K card, I may be able to trade you, assuming this is the
Fast Wide SCSI2 controller. I have one that I assume is a PS/2 card. I
don't really know a way to check it, However.

willing to trade for a PS/2 SCSI card (or maybe some other MCA card).

The connectors have 68 connections, but instead of being a standard SCSI
connector the connectors are what I've seen called "mini Honda", but I
don't know if that's the correct name for them or not.
The only references I've seen call it a SCSI card, though.

I don't understand. How do you get feature code 2415? 2415 indicates
FRU 93H8817 or 93H8814 if I follow the 1st link you provide.

IBM publication SA38-0533-06, "Adapters, Devices, and Cable Information
for Micro Channel Bus Systyems".
It's the only FC 2415 listed. The card listed on the microcode page is
the same adapter, and I _think_ the 93H881X FRU is for the EPROM itself.
The MCA SCSI adapter I'm looking at, from a 7013-530, is a 51G9425. The
programmable chips are 31G9725 and 31G9727.
