This is an Adaptec 2940AU (notice the A).  Adaptec decided to cut their 
cost while keeping the price the same, so they replaced the aic7880 on 
this card with an aic7860.  The aic7860 has only 3 SCBs insead of the 16 
on the aic7880.  So, don't use this in your server.  As far as I know, the
2940UW still uses the aic7880 as do the 3940 products which I would 
recommend in stead.

The aic7xxx driver should treat the aic7860 just like an aic7850 with 
Ultra support as well as a serial eeprom.  This is already done in the 
current version of the FreeBSD driver.
