Hi!

I wonder if 386BSD works well with the BusLogic 542A SCSI
controller. I have a Adaptec 1542B controller, and are going
to buy a Micropolis 1.4GB disk. As far as I know, the
BusLogic is gives better disk performance than the Adaptec
controller. Are these controllers compatible? Does
BusLogic 542A support "fast-SCSI-II", and what is
"fast-SCSI-II" really?

Thanks for your answer!

-jo
