I've been using various Linux (RH, Mandrake and Debian) and most
importantly OpenBSD with the Adaptec 2930CU, for what seems to be
about the last 3 years.
With HDD, CDRW and a few DDS drives...
What doesn't work?

I would like to use OpenBSD on my router/gateway box but there is no
support for Adaptec 2930CU.
Back when I petitioned support for the 2930CU with RedHat Linux I was
told that the 2940 driver worked for the 2930 as well. They just had to
recognize the 2930 device type.
To reinforce what Shane said, I just so happened to pick up an
Adaptec 2930CU recently, and also just happened to have a machine
on the bench it was easy to plug it in to:

Notice the "ahc1" above...
"man ahc" explicitly mentions the 2930CU, and if you really work at
it, I think you can make AHA-2930CU out of what is in i386.html
(but I'd have to work at it harder than I wish to at the moment. 8)
(which is way cool, I thought this card wasn't supported myself, I
got it for other reasons, but nice to have another one in the
"compatible" pile. 8)
