Avi, It's an AIC-7880 CHIP.
Linux has aic7xxx open source drivers, I am sure one can use those to implement them into Qemu.
Just how "shouldn't be too difficult" should it be? I am sure it'll help a lot of Adaptec users, regardless of DG/UX or other platforms.

An alternative could be to implement a virtio-blk driver for DG UX - not
sure how hard it is to write drivers for that beast, but it might be
simpler than handling all the corner cases of emulating the Adaptec.
