I see.

Right. From looking at the SCSI DMA ASIC datasheet, it's clear that DRQ 
never leaves the chip. So for PDMA we'd have to poll the status register 
in the NCR5380 logic cell. Same for models where IRQ_MAC_SCSIDRQ can't be 
made to work.

The DRQ signal is wired internally to the DMA state machine. But yeah, if 
you couldn't get it to raise an EOP interrupt, it is pointless.
