From the FreeBSD FAQ (This refers to FreeBSD 1.1 onward):

2.2:  What SCSI controllers are supported?

FreeBSD supports the following SCSI controllers:

Adaptec              AH-1542 Series <ISA>
                     AH-1742 Series <EISA>
Buslogic             BT-445 Series <VLB> (but see section 1.5)
		     BT-545 Series <ISA>
	             BT-742 Series <EISA>
                     BT-747 Series <EISA>
Future Domain        TMC-8XX/950 Series <ISA> (1.1.5 ONLY)
Seagate              ST-01/02 Series <ISA> (1.1.5 ONLY)
UltraStor            UH-14f Series <ISA>
		     UH-34f Series <EISA/VLB>

(There will also be support for adaptors such as the PAS-16 sound card,
which, believe it or not, does have a real, but slow, SCSI bus ;-) )

Geoff.
