It may not help you now, but the Intel DK440LX has a dual UW controller
integrated (aic7895) on the motherboard.  I'm only using scsi0 on mine,
but I would guess that if you popped the MoBo in a really large chassis
with a big disk compartment and lots of power and fans and all that, you
could build a pretty awesome eight+ disk server and conserve PCI slots.
Since I don't have disks on both controllers I couldn't tell you much
about parallelized access and performance, but one might hope to get
pretty excellent throughput.
