Yes - I use a CMD SCSI->SCSI raid controller.  It accepts f/w scsi, and
gives out two channels of fast narrow SCSI.  Connected to some older 9GB
full height Seagate disks, a kernel build on the raid partition goes
faster than on the local f/w scsi disk.  Of course, YMMV...  The disks
show up just fine to NetBSD, and I can even boot off a slice of a RAID 5
partition or a mirrored partition :-)

I was lurking on eBay for quite some time before this one showed up...

Hope this helps,
