Please allow me to add two comments: 1) Did you try a DC390F under FreeBSD-current, recently :) 2) Tekram offers (BSD copyrighted!) driver sources for their cards, including the AMD 53c974 based ones. See their Web page (sorry, don't remember the URL, but there was an announcement in a FreeBSD list, a few weeks ago). But those AMD chips are far less capable than the NCR chips! If you are looking for a good NCR based card, then the Tekram DC390U (with an Ultra-20 8 bit SCSI bus) and the DC390F (Ultra-WIDE), both based on the 53c875, are definitely a good choice.
