Even the HP C2502 (that never worked) works now. It's 8-bit card based on
NCR 53C400A (there are also 74ALS245 and 3 PALCE chips).
Configuration is by using magic numbers, wrote a simple userspace enabler:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/io.h>

const unsigned short io_ports[] = { 0x280, 0x290, 0x300, 0x310, 0x330, 0x340, 0x348, 0x350 };

/* IRQs: 2,3,4,5,7 */
void configure_hp400a(int idx, unsigned char irq) {
        unsigned char b = 0;

        outb(0x0f, 0x779);
        outb(0x22, 0x379);
        outb(0xf0, 0x379);
        outb(0x20, 0x379);
        outb(0x80, 0x379);
        if (irq != 2 && irq != 3 && irq != 4 && irq != 5 && irq != 7)
                irq = 0;
        if (idx >= 0 && idx <= 7)
                b = 0x80 | idx | (irq << 4);
        outb(b, 0x379);
}

int main(void) {
        if (iopl(3)) {
                perror("iopl");
                return 1;
        }

        configure_hp400a(0, 7);

        return 0;
}

And now:
# modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0x280 ncr_53c400a=1

[   79.051669] scsi2 : interrupts not enabled. for better interactive performance,
[   79.051770] scsi2 : please jumper the board for a free IRQ.

# hdparm -t --direct /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
 Timing O_DIRECT disk reads:   2 MB in 21.38 seconds =  95.77 kB/sec

Seems to work without IRQ.
With IRQ is enabled, no interrupts are shown in /proc/interrupts.
