Is anyone using a BL 445S to run NetBSD?  I tried booting with the two
kc floppies.  The ahbbt floppy worked and seemed to recognize the
controller, but I haven't actually tried to do an install yet.  Is it
similar enough to the BusLogic EISA controller to work?

For Linux, a slightly patched version of the aha1542.c file was
required because the 445S returns a DMA priority of 0.  The patched
version works fine.

Thanks for any info!
