I am looking to 386BSD both for myself and for an OS project. I am wondering
exactly what SCSI adapters can be used with 386BSD. I currently have a
WD-7000 FASST2, and I am looking at a Future Domain 1680. However, all the
documentation I can see mention only the Adaptec 1542 controller. Are either
of these compatible? Do I actually have to dig up a 1542?

On the side, my configuration currently (or shortly will be) a 200Mb SCSI
and 1Gb SCSI, dual floppy, and Diamond SpeedStar (ET4000) video. However,
I am looking into replacing the 200Mb SCSI with an IDE to solve some
problems. Is this a valid configuration? Can I use both drives?
