According to the INSTALL doc in the i386 subdirectory of the NetBSD
distribution (on ftp.iastate.edu), the NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI board is also
supported.
The INSTALL doc doesn't mention the 8x510. I guess it should be added. The
complete list of supported SCSI drives is:
Adaptec AHA-154xA, -B, -C, and -CF [only on kcaha floppy]
Adaptec AHA-174x
Adaptec AIC-6260- and AIC-6360-based boards, including
the Adaptec AHA-152x and the SoundBlaster SCSI
host adapter. (Note that you cannot boot from
these boards if they do not have a boot ROM,
and many do not.)
Buslogic 54x [AHA-154x clones; only on kcaha floppy]
Buslogic 445, 74x, 9xx [only on kcbt floppy]
NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI host adapter
Ultrastor 14f, 34f, and (possibly) 24f
If there are any other unmentioned but supported cards, I'd like to know
about them.
