You can expect that the NCR 53c810 and '875 should be supported; if the
board has a BIOS just rip it out (eg. ASUS SC875, Diamond Fireport).
You'll also be OK with at least some boards with the Qlogic chips on 
then, I expect the isp1010, 1020 and 1040 would be OK.

The NCR's are definitely the easiest to get.
