Adaptec's adapter has two "modes", one where it actually tries to be a
"real" SCSI bus, via MacOS and some magic in the firmware, and another
where it presents (one) device (at ID 0) as a "Mass Storage" device.

NetBSD must support this type of device as it would a USB disk, no?
If so, then the Adaptec device would be similar to the others under
NetBSD.

Under MacOS, though, the Adaptec device has some real advantages, working
in circumstances that the others won't.
