Probably not the suggestion you want, but for around £ 40 you can buy
an NCR PCI SCSI card which should give you better performance than the
much more expensive Adaptec ISA card. (Or for around £ 30, you can
but a Future Domain 8xx adaptor which does work with FreeBSD and will
give you worse performance than the Adaptec.)
