Dock I's scsi and Linux

[moy <moy@math.rutgers.edu>]

I recently purchased a Thinkpad Dock I via a clearance sale.

It is my understanding that the built-in scsi adapter in the
Dock I is a proprietary design.  

Does anyone know if Linux will recognize the built-in scsi of the
Dock I?  I.e. 
  (1) Can one build a Linux kernel by selecting an appropriate
      scsi device driver during the configuration part of a
      kernel build?  If so, what scsi driver should one use?
  (2) If there is no option in the standard Linux kernel source,
      would anyone know if someone has a patch for the Dock I's
      scsi adapter?

Thanks in advance.
