Me either.
Fortunately there are other chips around but unfortunately not too many
people use them. AMD has a family of SCSI chips. (The Am79C974 is a
combination Ethernet and SCSI-2 PCI chip that one of our customers is
looking at for a custom board design.) I thought that CMD and Motorola
also made some SCSI chips, but I may be mistaken. There are probably
others.
I suspect that if Adaptec prices their chips too high, the lower-end
PCI-card vendors will simply switch to someone else's chips to keep their
costs down, and it'll also give a lot of incentive to other chip makers
to get into the SCSI-chip business.
