Yes, it's MacOS software and therefore irrelevant to MacBSD.  Also it only
supports asynchronous transfer on newer DMA machines like the 650 and up.
No benefit at all on an SE/30, even under MacOS.  It didn't even support
the DMA on the IIfx, although it should have.

Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
