Nope.  The only chip currently supported is the NCR 5380 (or equiv.).
I am about to start work on a SONIC driver so I can get my C610 to do
something more than just boot -- without SCSI or enet it can't do much.

However, I'm notoriously slow when it comes to making software work, so
I encourage other interested parties to roll their own...
