I know it is flame war material, but all my IBM Netfinities have an 
aic7xxx channel (Adaptex 2940/7880) and they have worked flawlessly from 
day one.  The host that runs my house has a drive array connected via an 
AIC-7850 and it too has worked without incident.  

The Future Domain channel, on the other hand, blows chunks on a regular basis.
Fortunately I use that channel for removable media (4mm, 8mm, CDR, & CDW) and
don't much care.
