Have a look at http://www.qdi.nl/html/brilliant4.html

That card has the new chipset from Intel, but uses the 7880 and the
82557. I will probably buy one real soon (waiting for a success story
from a fellow NetBSD user ;). Too bad that we don't support the
raidport. It would have been a cheap ticket to raid-5. However, I don't
think it should be too hard to write a driver for it.

BTW! Unexpectedly I got a Mylex Dac960LB controller yesterday. I will
look into porting the ongoing FreeBSD driver to NetBSD. Are there any
cheap SCSI-to-SCSI solutions available?
