No, the controller is literally made to drive read-only devices, and 
the bug is not easily fixed.  It also uses PIO synchrous to the async
SCSI bus, so you are limited to 600-700 kbyte/sec, but your cpu will
not have any time to spend dealing intelligently with the data.

But I can send you a card if you want to spend time on it...
