I've looked and searched every 'Net location I can find a link to. 
Really, I have.  I can't find anything about the following hardware, so
I don't expect anyone to have ***the*** answer.  Yet, I am hopeful that
someone could give me a list of things to try in my kernel source,
existing driver source code, and MAKEDEV...

I have a "Travan" tape device connected to my Pentium machine, 1 Adaptec
7880 SCSI on-board controller with 1 SCSI-2 ultra-wide drive, 2 floppy
drives on 1 controller, 1 lpt, 2 serial, generic SVGA, and an external
6-disc CDROM juke box.

The tape drive and controller are from IOMega - their "Ditto Dash" line.
The drive itself may be connected to the floppy controller, or as is in
my case, a custom card using DRQ3, and sharing IRQ2 with the floppy
controller (i.e., the floppies and the tape cannot be used at the same
time). It's at port address 0x370.  The drive is IOMega's "QIC-3020",
which with 2:1 compression, holds 3.2gB or 1.6gB without compression.

The throughput with the custom card is so vastly superior over the
generic floppy-controller hookup that I do not wish to abandon this
card.  It works great under Win95, PC-DOS 7.0, and Warp.

I can't seem to find how to configure this card for FBSD 2.2.7.  Can
anyone please offer some "play with these settings" suggestions, or
recommend a source code file for some similar device and how it is
normally configured into the kernel?
