   Pardon my ignorance but I have a NCR PCI SCSI-2 controller
   but no driver for BSD. I take it from the placement of this
   article that there is a NCR PCI SCSI driver in existance/
   under development. If so where can I get it from ??

The NCR 53c810 driver is included as a standard driver in NetBSD-1.0.
Hopefully, 1.0 will get released soon so people can start using it.
Last I heard, they were predicting imminent release sometime this week
or next week.

Aside from that, you can get the driver from the guy who wrote it.
Don't know who he is, but he posts here regularly, so hopefully he'll
volunteer that info.
