Has anyone had any experience with using a BusLogic 747 with NetBSD
(0.9 or current)?  I'd be interested to know what kind of performance
you've had and your level of satisfaction with it.  (Are BusLogic and
BusTek two different companies, or what's the deal?)

Also, I'm thinking about getting a hard drive in the $300-400 range,
and was considering a Maxtor 7345s (345meg).  Anyone have anything
they'd like to share?  Are there other (better) hard drives I should
be thinking about?

Any comments on these or competing products to help me before I spend
big money?  Thanks for your input!

Also, anyone have any experiences to share regarding these 486DLC
cpu's that are supposed to upgrade a 386 to a 486?  What exactly are
they?  Do they work with NetBSD?  Are they worth the money?
