I wrote a mostly functional AdvanSys ISA driver back in October of last
year for use in my "SCSI branch" development.  It is checked into the
FreeBSD source tree and could be tweaked with minimal effort (say a weeks
work) to work with the older SCSI code.  You would then need to write 
a PCI probe front end.  I intend to complete the AdvanSys driver, including
the PCI and EISA front ends, when my current project, CAM SCSI, is 
finished, but anyone else is welcome to pick up the code and finish it off.
