This makes me nervous, works if I patch it up right, but I don't yet have a
NetBSD installation to prepare and compile the patch(?)  With current old
computer, there is doubt as to whether the Texel internal SCSI 2x CD-ROM drive
would be able to read NetBSD CDRs.  I am not sure about the difference between
CDR and CD-ROM, referring to the disk; my Texel CD-ROM drive reads those
Bell South Internet and AOL CDs, and the Linux Slackware CD-ROMs, subject to
DOS's lack of support for long file names.

Are there any modern PCI SCSI controllers that would use NCR5380 driver?
Trantor T130B dates to pre-PCI days: ISA, 8-bit, 50-pin internal connector and
25-pin external connector, just right for Iomega external SCSI Zip 100 and 250
drives.
