Is this what I should expect to see using the PCI scanner? It only
identifies RICOH RL5c476. Is this the same thing?

The most recent one I can find on my system is this one
L:\var>bldlevel ibm2ss14.sys
Build Level Display Facility Version 6.10.480 Oct 6 2000

Signature: @#IBM:10.056#@ PCCard IBM2SS14 Chip Driver for OS/2

Revision: 10.56
File Version: 10.56
Description: PCCard IBM2SS14 Chip Driver for OS/2
This os probably newer than the one I've tried. Maybe it's worth using.
How can I get hold the latest? I don't want to buy something only to find
