Eventually, you should use macio_(un)register_driver. However, I
don't have the support quite finished for mac68k. If I get some
time to work on it, I have most of the code written. It's close
enough that it should work on nubus-pmac, and I passed some
preliminary versions of the code off to them.

I certainly never got it to work, but I only tried on my IIfx which
doesn't have exactly the same version of the chip anyway.

Looks to me like the interrupt came in after the driver already
decided to give up for some reason. I had a big problem with that
while I was trying to fix the driver to use DMA on the IIfx. I
never did get it to give me the interrupt for dma completion
before the scsi mid layer timed out.
