The cards are probably responsible for the slow (300-400 kbyte/s) performance in general but they definitely have nothing to do with the difference between the various OS's. All my experiments were run on the same two boxes; I booted off a different partition for each OS. >I regularly get 400+k/sec out of my cheapo DEC DEPCA card on a 386-20sx >with FreeBSD, and I don't think there are enough significant differences >between NetBSD 0.8 and FreeBSD for it to be attributable to the OS. Is this card 8bit or 16 bit?
