  Got the card, but didn't come with a driver
diskette.  Am I going to be able to
...
  use this controller as the only I/O in the system? 
(ie. I can boot off the
...
  card's BIOS, yes?) 
Absolutely.  If you are installing the card in an AT-type system with a
built-in BIOS setup program and a table of hard drives, you may have to set
the hard drive types to "none" in the BIOS.

Before bothering to do that, though, I'd suggest just sticking the card
in the system, hooking up a SCSI hard drive, and powering up.  Most
likely this will work with no hassle.

The only time I needed the driver diskette was with SCSI CD-ROM
drives.  If you want a copy let me know.
