Anyone willing to spend some time merging in the OpenBSD ncr53c8xx
driver into NetBSD? (The task is a little beyond my ability).

OpenBSD's driver is based on the current NetBSD one, with additional
work in supporting big endian systems.

A kernel with this driver included would enable installtion of
NetBSD on an Apple Network Server 500/700 (originally ran AIX,
Linux now supports it as well, no Darwin/MacOS X Server support).

The ANS has two of such devices built-in, otherwise I'd offer to
send the card to someone.

If there is any way that I can help, please let me know.

Cheers,

	-- Aris
