Ding ding ding!!!
Hold on!
I got the info off the HD bible and I found what we need to know:
Most WD, SMS/OMTI use C800:5
few did use C800:6
But the Adaptec 8 bit card use weirdest way to do LLF process:
C800:CCC
and you have to input the needed info in hex.
Honestly, I prefer WD 1:2 or 1:3 controllers, the good ones are
XT-GEN kind.

PS: How did I know something is still wrong because I was been there
before. Oh, those 8 bit adaptec MFM cards have highest failure rate!
