I have a new PeeCee running 386bsd (and ms-dog).  It is a
486dx-33/ISA with a vesa local bus.  Now I would like to hook up
two SCSI drives (both Quantum) and a tape drive (Archive).

What is a good deal on a SCSI controller?  I hear that some ISA
controllers (adaptec) that use DMA don't work with more than 16
meg of ram which would be a Bad Deal.  Are there any VL bus
boards that would work?

Thanks in advance.
