Anybody got a spare NCR5380-based SCSI controller?

Hi!

(I think this is old enough hardware to be on topic.)

In my off hours, I'm trying to put together a driver for NCR53C80-based
SCSI controllers for it i386 port of NetBSD. (For those who know NetBSD,
I'm doing some patches to the MI 5380 driver and writing an i386 MD
front end.)

I have it working with the very dumb Chinon controller (non-bootable,
no IRQ- polled only), but was trying to set up a test box with a card
capable of being interrupt driven and (ultimately) bootable. Unfortunately,
my ancient SUMO SCSI-AT seems to have given up the ghost as it will no
longer detect any connected drives and seems to actively screw up the
bootting of floppies from another card.

So, I was wondering if one of you might be able to loan (or cheaply sell)
me a spare NCR53C80-based SCSI card. I guess I would ideally be looking
for another SUMO or similar card. My second choice would be a Trantor
T130 with boot ROM. I am, however, open to other suggestions.

Thanks...
