dca port is the normal, default, always-there port (at least on 3xx).
Don't know about apci.

This looks like two eight port dcm boards. If I remember correctly the eight
port boards appear as two consecutive four port cards.

And yes, netbsd should (and probably will) support them, if you have
a dumb terminal it's easy to try them out. If you get a lot of crashes try
changing the ipl to something else.. that's the way I got my four port card
working.

Good luck,
