Bad news I'am afriad, they are not supported, if you search the 9fans archive
(via google) you will see they where discussed several times; As i rembember it
 all who went there came back screaming.

I still use symbolics/ncr/lsi/tekram cards which work well, though that is
mainly because I have a stock of fast SCSI disks. If I where building a
new plan9 machine I would use IDE these days.

If a new disk is out of the question you could always use qemu on top
of another OS.
