   I am looking into putting some money into my current PC.  I was looking
   to make a decent netbsd system and was wondering what people would
   recommend for a SCSI disk controller (I would prefer a PCI card, but a
   VLB card would be ok) and graphic card (also would prefer PCI).  Anyone
   out there have some experiences in this area?

SCSI: BusLogic bt946c, or any card based on the NCR 53c810 chip.

Video: any S3 card, or ATI Mach 32.  (Mach64 isn't supported yet in
accelerated mode; only in SVGA mode).
