See "http://www.netbsd.org/Projects/index.html" :-)

It is already ported by Pete Bentley and me (mainly by Pete), and found on
ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/os/NetBSD/misc/i386/aic7xxx/aic7xxx-netbsd-1.1b.tar.gz 
This is based on May 16 version of FreeBSD's driver.

Pete's version is also found in 
ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/os/NetBSD/misc/i386/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.tar.gz 
This is based on Jan version of FreeBSD's driver.

Problems:
- explorer reported trouble with his 2940 (on my version)
- My version is only tested on my 2840 and 2940.
- My version changes second scsi bus handling method,
  but no one tested it on card which has two scsi bus.
  (use  struct scsi_link:scsibus, instead of
	struct scsi_link:quirks's 0x08 bit)
