 Thanks for debugging this and sending a patch.
 
 The driver had been released by Tekram without
 the EEPROM "simulation", which I added to make
 the driver support generic AMD 53c974 chips.
 I relied on other people testing the driver,
 since I had no such controller, myself, and
 received several positive replies.
 
 I'll check out your suggested patch in the 
 context of FreeBSD 2.2 and -current, and will
 then commit it.
