I see questions like this all the time.  I think most of us have
experience with only a limited amount of SCSI hardware.  Would someone
in the know be kind enough to take a few minutes and publish a quick
chart with all the major PC SCSI cards and a quick description of each
(which is ISA, EISA, 8-bit, 16-bit, bus-mastering, floppy, no floppy,
etc.).  Additionally, how they relate to each other, and how they're
supported by NetBSD and FreeBSD.  I'm sure we'd all appreciate it...
