There is a boot floppy image with Adaptec and NCR PCI SCSI support
available from its primary archive site:

FTP.Uni-Koeln.DE:packages/FreeBSD/PCI-SCSI/Changes
FTP.Uni-Koeln.DE:packages/FreeBSD/PCI-SCSI/kcopy_nc.flp.gz
FTP.Uni-Koeln.DE:packages/FreeBSD/PCI-SCSI/scsi-ncr-2.0.tar.gz

(I put them into "ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/PCI-SCSI", 
too, this site may be nearer to you ...). (Maybe there still is 
the file PCI-SCSI.tar, which contains compressed sources and 
binaries of the driver.)

Version 2.1 will appear soon, major difference is (tested :) 
support for 2 NCR 53c810 chips (ie. multiple SCSI buses).

If you have problems installing the driver or accessing the files,
send mail to either <wolf@dentaro.GUN.de> (Wolfgang Stanglmeier) 
or me <se@MI.Uni-Koeln.DE> (Stefan Esser) or preferably both.

Send mail to Wolfgang, if you want to be added to the mail list, 
that our announcements get posted to.
