Go for the BT445C.  Buying Adaptec is really not the way to go unless
you want to support their pathetic attempt to sympathize with Bill Gates
and his cronies.  Getting the BT445C to work may involve tweaking your
kernel (interrupt-wise in my case), but there are plenty of us out here
who would be more than willing to help get your system going by providing
a pre-compiled kernel boot image or such...  Like someone earlier stated,
once you DO get your Buslogic card running, you'll wonder how you ever got
along with anything else! Use the FORCE Luke....
