Most 53c875-based cards should work using Sun's glm driver, except those
manufactured by Tekram which were repeatedly reported not to work (don't
ask me why..).

My home U10 workstation uses a cheap LSI Logic 53c875 controller I got
off Ebay, and at least that one works flawlessly. YMMV.

AFAIK, the SCSI HBAs sold by Sun are relabeled Antares[0] controllers.
