Strangely, the Adaptec web site seems to > contain no info on the AIC 7895.) Which is also incorrect. All 3940[|U|W|UW] I have seen are based on the Adaptec AIC-7870 or AIC-7880. I was browsing last night for a new motherboard and saw that AIC-7895 statement, I first thought they mean the Adaptec 3985 controller, but even that controller is based on 3xAIC-7880 and 1xAIC-7810.
