There's no support for any Future Domain SCSI controller.

If you know the model of STB VGA card and can determine the
	graphics chip
	RAMDAC
	clock chip

then it's possible to create a new entry in /lib/vgadb for
your card.

I've just installed a demo version of Plan 9 on a Gateway 2000 computer
(p5-120) using a STB graphics board. Plan 9 is running but the STB 
graphics board (S3 compatible) is only supported in the standard VGA
mode. Also the Future Domain SCSI-2 controller cannot be recognized using
Plan 9.
