There's some MI 5380 code in sys/dev/ic, and that's what the
sun3's ncr-driver (si.c) and thus port-vax also are using...

To me it seems that there's ncr53c9x (sparc's esp-driver uses that)
and a ncr5380 (built into 2000 and 3100) which is used in sun3's si-
driver and some/many others (atari, mac, hp300 and other 68k machines).
>From what I remember 5380 drivers fall into two categories:
	- using MI 5380 (ncr5380sbc)
	- doing all from scratch
But away from the before-mentioned si-driver for sun3/sun3x I don't
remember any "generic" frontend for nc5380.
