It's the Adaptec card you need the i/o, irg, etc.. settings
for, not the Archive unit. The 1522B uses 0x340 (although some of
these units only allow 0x140) with an IRQ of 11:

 controller      aic0    at isa? port 0x140 bio irq 11 vector aicintr

To access the tape drive, FreeBSD will automagically map whatever
it's SCSI id is so that /dev/rst0 points correctly.
