  I don't believe that's a RAID card.  In other words, it's an
ordinary SCSI host adapter.  Assuming you have the model number
correct, the disks are prolly NT software RAID.  You should thus be
able to connect the disks to any SCSI host adapter to read them.

  RAID 1 can generally be read with a single disk, sometimes even
without RAID interpretation, so that's good, too.

  AFAIK, Exchange can only be restored to the same version, service
pack, and update level.

  In a scenario like this, I'd look at installing a temporary SBS 2003
server on spare hardware for restore purposes.  Once it's up and
running and restored, join the new SBS 2011 server to the domain.
Then migrate your data to the 2011 box, as if the server hadn't
exploded.  Once everything is on 2011, demote, dejoin, and
decommission the 2003 temporary server.
