Ok, so let's start a list of cards that definitely get a working LED from
SCSI_NCR_SYMBIOS_COMPAT.  I have a Diamond FirePort 40.  I turned that
option on months ago.  My LED works.  My SCSI card didn't blow up. :-)

I am still running a really old -current on that box though.  Pre-CAM.
In case that matters.

Hmm.  Now that I think of it, I don't remember the FirePort being in the
release notes as supported at all.  Well, it works fine.  If my local
computer store can still get the FirePort 40 Dual (I ordered one), I'll
be able to tell you about that one too.

Stephen.
