Hello there,

i have a PowerTower Pro running NetBSD 1.5 and now i am trying to add a PCI
IDE controller to it. the only controller available for the mac right now is
the Sonnet Tempo Ultra66. now the question... what do i have to do, or how
do i find out if the card is supported? Sonnet says that the card supports
Open Firmware (otherwise i wouldnt have bought it).
it is a dual channel IDE card with a master drive attached to each channel
when i boot into open firmware it shows up as:

/bandit@F2000000
    /ACARD,6260@D
        /sd@0:0

then when i boot into NetBSD it shows up in the dmesg as:

Acard product 0x0007 (SCSI mass storage, revision 0x01) at pci0 dev 13
function 0 not configured

when i try to see the disklabel for wd0 or wd1 (i know this might not be
right but i thought i try) it says "disklabel: wd0c: device not configured"

i also tried booting from the install floppy to see if the install programm
recognizes it, but it doesnt. it only shows my scsi disks.
am i out of luck here? does netbsd have to support that specific device to
work? when i boot from an old MacOS CD (its so old the card didnt even
exist...) the drives work just fine. and it doesnt require driver under
macos. 

so if i have to configure the PCI card to start with... is that possible?
