The relevant document is still missing from the linuxcare website,
despite a bug filed against it for over a month now.  Fortunately,
I kept a copy of the old website active, so you can view it at
http://puffin.external.hp.com/parisc/hp9000_models.html

The relevant quote is:

 The PCXS and PCXT models include the NCR 53C700 device at various
SCSI-Clock rates for the built-in Single-Ended (SE) SCSI controller.
These older models use the NCR 53C720 (40 MHz) SCSI controller (where
supported) with the Outfield (O) chip for the built-in SCSI controller
for the Fast-Wide-Differential (FWD) SCSI bus.  The PCXS and PCXT models
do not provide support for an internal PC Floppy drive.

So it seems like we need to find you an Outfield device & docs :-)
