BusLogic will not release programming information on the FlashPoint SCSI
controller.  They have given the Linux BusLogic driver author good support
for their other SCSI controllers.  There is an upgrade plan (instigated
by the Linux driver author) to replace the FlashPoint with one of their
other controllers that are supported by Linux.  I believe the upgrade
cost to a better controller is in the $25-45 (US) range.  Contact BusLogic
and tell them you're running Linux.

The FreeBSD BusLogic driver is (I believe) scheduled for revamping, so
an upgrade to one of the other BusLogic controllers should be worthwhile.
