Well, clearly it's not seeing an NCR/Symbios chip it unsderstands- 1000 is
the Vendor ID for NCR/Symbios (now LSI), but 8f is off in the weeds
somewhere- some randomass product ID so that one cannot recognize
specifically what chipset it is. Well, you bought cheap and got cheap....
I think yer outta luck here- this would not even work for
Tru64/Linux/NetBSD, etc..

It *does* see your IDE drive tho- so if you install the latest -current
snapshot onto the IDE drive, you oughta be able to cook with that...
