This isn't true.  The 3.0 version of Newtek's Bus Toaster uses a Symbios
53C500 chip.  I think Newtek still makes them...

Granted, we don't have a driver for that controller either, but the
programming manual is readily available from LSI Logic.  Seems to me that
NetBSD has a driver for it, based on a Linux driver.  (Been a while since
I looked into it, so I may be misremembering.)
