I hate to say it, but Linux seems to have pretty good support for this line of
controllers...

In terms of running FreedBSD with a PM2022, I seem to recall that these 
controllers have an IDE compatibility mode (the SCSI controllers make itself
look like an IDE/MFM controller), try poking around the EISA configuration
utility.
