I thought that at least some ofvthese SCSI cards were specific to
pc98, which is exclusively 32bit on freebsd.

Correct. Those drivers have issues with amd64, or did when I did some
quick tests. I never revisited them because they are for fairly slow
cards to start with. They did work for me when I tried them on i386
last. Of course none of them have been tested by me since about the
7.0 branch.
