There's the 2940UW and I think there's one that specifically does 
differential SCSI as well.  I have a 2940W.  I'm installing a machine 
tommorow -- either NetBSD or FreeBSD.  I'm making install tapes and 
floppies for both -- not sure yet which I'll use (I've been leaning 
towards Free becasue of these issues with the 2940 drivers, but if they 
work fine then I'll prolly do Net.).  Regardless of which one I choose, 
I'll attempt a NetBSD install and upgrade to -current just to see how it 
works and will post my results.

Hmm...I'm gonna be starting off with a Baraccuda (Seagate ST3255WC) and 
adding a second one next week, along with an HP JetStore 8 gig DAT drive 
and at some point a random cd-rom drive.  Might even try my hand at using 
ccd to do disk striping.  I expect this sucker to fly.

Hah.  Too true.
