Subject: Driver for DTC SCSI controller?

Does any have, or is anyone working on a UNIX driver for the new
DTC 3270VL SCSI-2 controller?  If not, how about any of the other
DTC 32x0 controllers?  I presume I could modify an ISA SCSI
controller fairly easily, right?

I'm interested in such a driver for any of the following systems:

	386BSD, NetBSD, Linux, Mach 3.0, Mach 2.x

Please let me know.

Thanks.

P.S. The DTC controllers are so much cheaper than the supported
     controllers, such as Adaptek and Ultrastor, that I'm surprised
     that Adaptek is supported by all the free UNIX and Mach systems,
     whereas DTC, apparently, is not.  Wouldn't it be nice to by a
     $160 SCSI controller, instead of a $400+ SCSI controller?
