I have made this successfully work on both BSDI and SVR4 (!)

I've never tried it on FreeBSD, but given the SCSI architecture I can't see
why it wouldn't work.  However, the ISA interrupts and such have to be
correct (and declared correctly in the config).

I *do* know that two PCI adapters work properly, as do two EISA adapters;
I've done both of those (our news system uses two PCI adapters now).
