I've got an IOMEGA PCI Scsi Card, which according to the docs is a 
294x/78xx compatible. As far as I can tell, its a 7850 Adaptec IC chipset 
card... FreeBSD even seens to recognize that its a SCSI card of some sort..

Here's my dmesg output
--- snip ---
pci0:14:    vendor=0x10cd, device=0x1200, class=storage (scsi) int a irq 
10 [no driver assigned]
--- snip ---

What I'm going to try to do is futz around with the autodetection 
routines where it identifies what card it is, but I'd rather go with some 
more specific instructions... I'd hope that I could just trick my 
detection routines, but knowing this, I'd probably be SOL...
I'm gonna try to get a real 2940 somewhere...
This card seems fairly fast, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do, I'd like 
to keep it..
