Ok, after finding a couple of other hits, it almost sounds like these things
are just implemented as PCI bridges with each drive getting it's own IDE
controller, then using software RAID on top of that.  I may be totally wrong
here though. :-)

If that is the case, it _might_ not be so difficult to get working provided
the IDE controllers are compatible with "normal" pciide type controllers.

If you can, boot a NetBSD kernel and provide the dmesg output.
