: just how cheap my hardware was.  After reading an article in some magazine
: about how IDE works, i would like to get as far away from it as possible.

This sounds like a wise decission!!

: Could anyone suggest a good SCSI controller to use under a pure BSD system?

I am totally satiesfied with my Adaptec 2940. I used the NCR controllers
too, but had some trouble with them, but I didn't used them under
FreeBSD.
If you have an ISA Bus, the Adaptec 1542XX does a rock solid job too.
