The Alpha 8x00 has onboard (KFTIA) SCSI host adapters based on
the Emulex (excuse me, now "Qlogic") ISP chip.

Has a driver for this been ported to NetBSD, or should I plan on
possibly porting the Linux version (or doing my own, or....)?

It's also possible I can ignore these ISP SCSI busses for the moment,
shove an Adaptec 2940 or an NCR script engine PCI card into a PCI slot
and boot off of that (yes, I probably won't get very far past that anyway-
but that's what I'm starting to work on...)
