    Not sure but -- I've got a couple of Symbios/LSI 53c875 based cards that
    are bootable in my U5, and a 53c895 that works, but is not bootable in a
    U5. I've also got Sun branded 53c875/95 based SCSI cards that are HVD.
    They use the same driver.

    So would a generic 53c875/95 card work? If it was cheap enough I'd try it.
