Does that older hardware (AHA-284x, an ISA card; and ADP-1480, a PCMCIA
card) work fully in NetBSD 1.6?

If it does work in 1.6 then how common, or rare, is that hardware,
especially in current "production" NetBSD systems?  I.e. is it worth
leaving 1.6.2 in the dust w.r.t. almost all newer Adaptec hardware
vs. continuing to support what would seem, in my somewhat limited
experience with older PCs and laptops, to be relatively rare hardware?

Has anyone with that older hardware tested a current release of FreeBSD
to see if the problems are related to the porting of the driver to NetBSD?
