Mine is identical (forgot about the AIC revision), except that i'm
using adapter synch negotiation, which seems to work (and worked
all the time since FreeBSD ~ 1.1).  I think the synch negotiation
should only be disabled if there's a drive that claims to be able
of synch transfers but actually isn't.  Normally, the synch
negotiation should do no harm even for asynch devices.
