Subject: [386BSD] Request info on RLL controllers known to work

I'm looking into getting a RLL controller for my system, to allow 
installing the source of 386bsd (68MB just isn't quite enough). Since
Western Digital no longer makes boards, I'm reluctant to blindly buy
one and hope (it's been my experinece that all *ix operating systems
are *very* finicky about hardware).

So; I'm requesting that anyone who cares to, please let me know what
RLL controllers that are currently available have been tested and are
known to work with 386bsd. I'll accumulate responses for a week or so,
and post a summary.

Thanks,

The Chairman of the Board and the CFO speak for SCI. I'm neither.
