As far as I understand, the data sent over the DSSI bus is straight MSCP,
which NetBSD already knows how to talk to. Therefore, a DSSI disk driver
should be as simple as hooking the existing ra driver to a new driver for
the DSSI port, instead of the uda driver. That was the path I was planning
to take, at least for the KA6[6-9]0 DSSI ports.
