Hi,

No.  There is only support for the xd (753 or 7053) and xy (450/451) SMD disk
controllers.  It might be possible to write a driver using the xd/xy drivers
and the manuals at http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xylogics/ as references.

Thanks,

J

PS.  I don't know when the xd and xy drivers were last tested on real
hardware.
