Nope, haven't had my hands on one of those motherboards to try.

I have a Tyan MB that I couldn't get to recognize a Tyan SCSI card with
the 875 on it.  Wasn't a FreeBSD thing, one and a half other operating
systems, OS/2 and Win95, couldn't see it either.  It wasn't a bad card
since I packed it off to Jordan and its doing fine in one of freebsd.org's
boxes.   ????????

I've been very happy with my 2940UW.
