I was going to point you at opensource.adaptec.com, but it looks like
they've redesigned that site and removed the link to the source. It's
still downloadable directly, but is a newer version (3.3.1, dated 2002,
instead of 3.0.4, dated 2000). If you edit the makefiles and replace
-D_DPT_LINUX -D__linux__ with -D_DPT_FREE_BSD, the source compiles on
FreeBSD 4.x and can talk to an asr card just fine.
