	Well, the good news is that I have a GW 2000 66/DX2 on my desk with two
~600MB drives attached that I can use for playing with a/some/all free *NIX. The
bad news is that I only have an "Always Technology IN-2000" SCSI adapter, and
neither NetBSD or Linux seem to (fully) support this adapter. 

	So, does 386BSD maybe support this adapter? Or are there plans to
support it in any of the other free *NIX's? Or should I give up and buy a
different adapter?

	(BTW, Linus DOES have an "alpha" driver in the Yggrsil (sp?) release
that I tried, but it doesn't seem to be happy about the block sizes reported by
the CD-ROM driver I need to install it from.)
