I couldn't find Jordan's detailed hardware discussion,
so I hope this isn't in a faq somewhere...

Just about every PC store says that the NCR scsi 
controller won't work with an Intel Zappa motherboard.  
They claim the motherboard needs to use the NCR chipset 
to be happy with the NCR controller.  I seem to recall
NCRs being used with lots of (previous generation)
Intel Netpune-based motherboards.

Are the stores wrong?
