If that one uses the LSI1068 chipset, do you know which one uses the
LSI1078 chipset?  I've seen that number in the comments in one of the
mf* drivers (think it was mfi).  How does one determine which actual
chipset is in which controller?  Do they have that buried in the docs
somewhere?

I've also found a couple of Areca cards (PCI-X, non-RAID/PCIe RAID),
and have heard good things about Areca support in FreeBSD.  Any
comments on their quality/performance/reliability?
