The Windows driver (<http://www.sensoray.com/downloads/sdk626.zip>) has
this in the models section of the INF file:

%sx26.DeviceDesc%=sxdrv.Device,PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7146&SUBSYS_02726000

And it looks like the correct device because this the strings section
contains:

sx26.DeviceDesc=   "Sensoray Model 626 Analog/Digital I/O"

Interpreting the above information gives us:

PCI Vendor ID = 0x1131
PCI Device ID = 0x7146
PCI Subvendor ID = 0x6000
PCI Subdevice ID = 0x0272 (626)

The Linux SDK for this board
(<http://www.sensoray.com/downloads/s626-1.0.1.tar.gz> has the same info
in the s626core.h file.
