I am investigating the requirements for installing BSD on my 386  
computer and need help in finding  an affordable SCSI controller
that is known to work with BSD (ie  BSD drivers are availble); I
have an old  SABRE 1.2 Gig external SCSI (given to  me by a friend) 
and has a Differentail type Termination; I see form the installation 
notes  for BSD that they have a Drivers for Adaptec 15422 but I am
as to whether this controller supports differential ended drives;
I also find that they are relatively expensive  and would appreciate
having a comparison .

If you have any information on how I may get this drive up and 
running with BSD please  send  me email; I will later compile 
responses for posting on the net.
