I recently built a system to originally run as a WinNT server with a WD 
7193 SCSI PCI controller.  I have now decided to set aside a partition to 
run FreeBSD on.  Apparently, there is no device driver for this card, but 
I was wondering if anyone had a workaround (short of purchasing another 
PCI SCSI card) to allow me to utilize my drives and CD from this 
controller until support for this card can be developed.  I really do 
like this card, it is one of the best cards at a low cost I have worked with.
