Actually, it's fabled that the NetBSD-1.0 version of the Adaptec 6360
driver is supposed to work with these cards. The problem is, nobody
who's running NetBSD-current has tried it yet, so nobody knows for
sure. I believe they hacked in support for an older brand of the chip
to make this possible. This all coming from a very foggy recollection
of some posts I saw float by the NetBSD current-users list.
