Symbios 390UF controlller from Techram, $61 dollars, ultra wide, exactly the
same as 2940UW and works great in sun boxes. I got two of them in the my
Sun U10 one pointing two cheetah drives, one pointing to raid box. And
soon fiber card pointing to sparc array 200 with 30 9gb drives
:)

Ebay seems to be a great source for used sun boxes, I've also noticed at sun's site they have a new workstation for $999.
