No, you cannot. Boards with ATI chipsets don't even work with Linux
which has move driver than *BSD.

Boards with ATI chipsets are infamous for the horrible performance of the
southbridge which would also affect a SCSI hostadapter in a PCI slot.

BTW:
I would recomment buying an SATA hardware RAID hostadapter instead.
I've got an Intel SRCS14L (drives 4 SATA disks, RAID 0, 1, 5 and
1+0 in hardware). It works nicely and is very fast. And even if you
buy 10.000 RPM Raptor SATA disks the whole package will still be
cheaper than a SCSI solution. But there also 7200 RPM SATA disk
which are suited for RAID usage (e.g. from Western Digital) which
offer more capacity for a lower price.

	Kind regards
