FWIW, on older Compaqs this deactivation was achieved by disconnecting
the small power cable going from the power supply to this piece of
intelligence at the back of the drive bays.
It could be quite possible that Compaq did something bad with the circuitry
around the Symbios chip, they like to change everything and then write
their own drivers.
