I can't speak to support for the chip in FreeBSD (it is an AHA-1510/20) but I can say that you would more than likely do beter getting a NCR 810 or similar SCSI card for $40-60 and a true SB16 for about same, than getting the SB16-SCSI. I have one, and the interface is OK, but it is nothing to get excited over... (IMHO).
