This point would be moot if NetBSD supported the PCI Adaptec SCSI
adapter, so I wouldn't have to use the ISA adapter :) Any ideas on
the ETA for the adapter support or the >16MB RAM ISA fix?
NetBSD supports two excellent PCI SCSI adapters already. When Adaptec
lets up on their Draconian policies, I'm sure someone will write one
for that card too (that isn't GNU Copylefted).
In the mean time, you can use the NCR 53c810 PCI SCSI cards, as well
as the BusLogic bt946c, under NetBSD with excellent results.
Why this obsession with Adaptec anyway?
