If it's anything like the XU 5/90C that's next to my workstation,
it does *NOT* use an adaptec controller. My XU 5/90C uses some AMD SCSI
chip, which I believe is not supported by any FreeBSD version (at least,
it's not mentioned in either the FAQ or handbook, and there doesn't
appear to be any driver filenames in the 6/12 -snap that contain "amd").
Under Windows 95, the built-in SCSI is reported as an "AMD PCI SCSI
Controller" (darn, I was hoping for some chip numbers).
Sorry.
