You cut out the part of my message where I explained `not supported':
] Symbios875's aren't supported in FreeBSD.  They will work, but just 
] like an 825.  (Local script memory isn't used, and they won't negotiate
] ultra speeds).  It is also likely to be very $$$ because it is AMI.

I have a 875 at home, and under 2.2.x it won't negotaite ultra with my
ultra scsi drive.  If 2.2.x now supports this (or the local script memory),
I'll gladly cvsup the latest version.  If it doesn't, then "just like an
825" is correct :(
