I'm not on questions, but your message was forwarded to me, the author of
the Adaptec aic7xxx driver.

This is to be expected.  Userconfig only lists ISA devices and the aic7xxx
no longer pertends to be an ISA device as it was in 2.1R.

Are you sure that ahc0 is not probed at all by the 2.1.5R boot floppy?
What slot does 2.1R report your card in?  Have you tried disabling the
uha0 device vi Userconfig during the 2.1.5R install (it's been known to
conflict with the adaptec)?

It should still be supported.
