We recently did some performance and compatibility testing with the 
Buslogic line of SCSI controller cards under QNX 4.2.  We tested the ISA, 
EISA and VLBus controller cards with various SCSI hard drives including the 
Maxtor's and didn't have any compatibility problems.  Every combination 
under QNX just worked.
