   This information may apply to FreeBSD 1.x. NCR has not disadvantage than
   any other SCSI-2 controllers. All Pentinum-100 BIOS should be support it.
   I have 10 different Pentinum motherboards and every one works with NCR SCSI
   controllers.

   BTW, I believe that NCR provide free BIOS upgrading kits for NCR chipset.

NCR does, but Intel won't tell anyone how to upgrade the NCR BIOS on
their motherboards (e. g. Plato).

Intel customer support: are you listening?
