The machine in front of me has an FX-810S that works just fine. I have it
setup as the slave drive on the first controller. The only problem I've
encountered is that it is *very noisy*, and there is not much FreeBSD can
do about that.

Make sure you have wcd configured in your kernel, and have made the wcd
devices in /dev. Also, make sure you're using the correct device names
in commands; you must use the wcd devices, not mcd or cd.
