If he's not interested, I am.  I have one of these controllers on my
motherboard (Micronics).  I would also like to access the PCI side of
this controller, instead of the ISA side.

I only have one disk hanging off this controller, just a 540 that I
use for Windows95 (when forced at gun point).  I also use it as a
secondary boot partition for FreeBSD if I need to mess with the boot
partitions on my SCSI disks.
