It looks that the controller is only poorly supported.  We haven't
seen anybody who's got an AIC6260/6360-based controller in order to
maintain this driver.  The existing driver is suffering from extensive
bit rot right now.

Borrow a better supported controller, setup FreeBSD, get the AIC6260
docs, and volunteer to maintain the `aic' driver.
