I bought a used sonnet tempo ata/66 card.  its not bad, but in the powermac
8500 it experiences problems, particularly when playing an audio stream from
MP3 say, that cause sound to drop and click annoyingly, although data
integrity isn't a problem.  The device is seen as a scsi device by macos.

I havn't tried NetBSD with it yet, mainly because I think I want to use a
manual install process, which I havn't figured out yet, to preserve my apple
partition map.  Is that even possible?
