I have been reading all of the posts about  recommendations for 
controllers and I got the Buslogic along with an ASUS motherboard
and I cannot get BSDI to boot off of this machine. I have tried 
everything (including tech support). Are there any other people 
who cannot get the the Buslogic to work or am I the only one.
Would people recommend trying the NCR controller instead?
