Mylex UK office tell us they have dropped the card :(

*sigh* - no longer made by Adaptec.  Replacement is an AHA29160, which
from the model number looks like a straight Ultra160 replacement.

Some details exist at
http://www.adaptec.com/products/guide/ultra160scsi.html

And at http://www.adaptec.com/products/overview/ultra160scsi.html#29160

However, nowhere can I find technical details on the chipset used, so I
have no idea if FreeBSD will like it.  Has to be  STABLE version of
FreeBSD too.

Can anyone comment on the likelihood of it working?
