The SMS OMTI controller is designed to support both ESDI and MFM/ST506 drives
concurrently, up to 4 drives per controller (using drive address jumpers for
addresses 0-4 instead of setting all drives for address 1 and twisting the
drive address line.

Does the 386BSD hard disk driver support this card, and if not is there a
driver for 386BSD or Linux that does?

Alternatively, does 386BSD and/or Linux support multiple hard disk controllers
(say, one MFM and one ESDI)?
