But ASUS SC200 doesn't have 'boot-rom' in itself. So, it had better to be 
used on ASUS-motherboad.

How about Tekram DC390F(78Cxx chip)? (ref: http://www.tekram.com/ )
It is supported on FreeBSD-2.2.1(from release txt).
I heard from several Japanese FreeBSD users using DC390U at SCSI.
But few of them use DC390F at Ultra-Wide-SCSI.
