ASUS is using the NCR 53c810 SCSI chip on their PCI boards.  It
is very fast but as of yet there are no drivers for it.  Persons
on the FreeBSD core team are working on writing one.  In addition
someone is almost finished w/ one for 386bsd which could easily be
ported over to FreeBSD.  Until then BSD won't work w/ the ASUS PCI
SCSI cont.  Sorry, I've been wanting to get one too.
