I use an INFOSYS MCA controller in a Novell 3.11 Server. It is a cached
controller, but does no busmaster DMA. They claim to be as fast as the
AHA1640 with busmaster this way.

After lots of problems with the Adaptec 1640 and virtually no help 
from this wondeful company we trashed our Adaptec and bought the 
Infosys controller. Since then - no problems. It runs like a champ.

If you are a security freak, they even have a controller doing DES  
encryption on the fly...

I guess it is a German company, but they also list a US address in the
Manuals:

Computer Elektronik Infosys of America Inc.
512-A Herndon Parkway
Herndon, Va. 22070

Phone: (703) 435-3800
Fax:   (703) 435-5129

(I'm nothing but a satisfied customer)
