You forgot:

now, EISA bus with:
	BusLogic 747s or 757s EISA SCSI controller
	3com 3c579 EISA bus ethernet board

or later, when 3com comes out with a PCI controller, and PCI
autoconfigure becomes less schizo and more functional:
	BusLogic 946c PCI SCSI controller
	3com 3c5?9 PCI bus ethernet board
