The SCSI controllers from ATTO, http://www.attotech.com/ are 53Cxxx 
based, and will boot a Mac. I have one of their 53c875 based cards in 
a Power Computing PowerTower Pro 200 (PPC 604e, 200 MHz; this is 
essentially a 9[56]00 clone) running NetBSD. The relevant bits of 
dmesg are:

That disk is external, in a Sun 611 cabinet.
