So my guess is that the CD you've : got doesn't have that on there, and I suppose the man pages in the web : interface are out of date as well. Support was added Jan 7, 2000. These were only at U2 speeds, like Ken has already said. I've been using a 19160 since Feb 16 at about 2:00am. It was the cheapest adaptec controller I could find (a white box version was about $160 at Microwarehose at the time). It has two internal and one external connectors. One of the internal ones is LVD, 68pin. The other internal one is 50 pin SE, as is the external connector. The only thing that I'd wish for would be another 68 pin internal connection for SE, but since I have only LVD drives it didn't matter too much. Best deal around, if you want my opinion. The 19160 is so cheap because the Windows driver disables all the features of scsi that make it fast. Good thing the FreeBSD driver doesn't do this and gives you all the speed of a 29160 at $140 less. The 19160 has the same chipset as the 29160. I think you'll be quite happy with yours.
