Yeh, you can get used cards in the AHA2940 family for a song, thanks to
all the big iron switching to fiberchannel and old SCSI RAID arrays going
on the used market, and most can be flashed into the corresponding APD2940
using the Adaptec flash utilities. You have to pay full price for a 2930.

Which is probably one reason Adaptec dropped them for OS X, it'd kill the
market for the 29160 family.

Darwin supports the 2940, but the Darwin 2940 driver doesn't know
about sleep... so it never wakes up again.  Odds are there's other
issues, though mine worked pretty well for about 47 minutes (with a
30 minute sleep timer).
