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.
