Generally, the LSI cards - there's a list in mpi(4) manual. If you don't need to boot from them and want something cheap(ish), the Apple cards using this driver are reasonably easy to find second-hand. I have one (Fujitsu-Siemens) server they don't work in though, an NMI when the driver tries to attach takes the machine to DDB. Same happens with FreeBSD's driver for this card, I suspect some hardware problem. isp(4) is working ok in that machine. > As stated I'm currently trying to use a QLogic 2200 with a copper > port to connect to my Sun T3 fiber channel raids.

Mostly using SFP-SFP copper cables here. mpi0 at pci2 dev 1 function 0 "Symbios Logic FC929X" rev 0x00: apic 2 int 4 (irq 9) scsibus0 at mpi0: 32 targets, initiator 15 sd0 at scsibus0 targ 3 lun 0: <APPLE, Xserve RAID, 1.51> SCSI3 0/direct fixed sd0: 176696MB, 22087 cyl, 128 head, 128 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 361873408 sec total sd1 at scsibus0 targ 4 lun 0: <APPLE, Xserve RAID, 1.51> SCSI3 0/direct fixed sd1: 176696MB, 22087 cyl, 128 head, 128 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 361873408 sec total mpi1 at pci2 dev 1 function 1 "Symbios Logic FC929X" rev 0x00: apic 2 int 5 (irq 5) scsibus1 at mpi1: 32 targets, initiator 15
