Al's right; I'll add two things:
1) I've used a SCSI2SD in other systems that formerly used an Adaptec
4000/5000 controller with some success, but I was only ever able to get
a single drive to work at a time; you may have similar luck with the
SCSI2SD if you configure it just right.
2) The SCSI2SD does currently have support for emulating some of these
early controllers/bridges, but the Adaptecs aren't on the list yet --
however the SCSI2SD's creator has been open to feature requests in the
past, and might be able to add support, and documentation for the
Adaptect boards is readily available. (And the SCSI2SD firmware's open
as well, so you can hack it in yourself if you have the time, etc.)
