Both should  work on  either  *BSD. Remember to  disable all [DOS-oriented]
extended features  of the  Adaptec 1542CF. I   don't  know much  about  the
Ultrastor but last I heard they went Chap. 11 (anyone ?).

Personnally, I'd recommend the Buslogic card, either  VESA or EISA. They're
well made, work splendidely and are also supported.

I'm a very happy user of a EISA BT-747S card...
