No, not really.  I've seen some, but you loose traffic, and you can't
always do followups.

No personal experience, but the handbook states:

    o  Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.

The seagate scsi driver (which is also used for these FD cards) states:

    * (Free/Net/386)BSD ST01/02, Future Domain TMC-885, TMC-950 SCSI driver
    * Added code to handle Future Domain 840, 841, 880 and 881


If that helps any.
