Theoretically, the BusLogic bt946c should work, since all BusLogic
cards appear essentially identical to the software.  However, I don't
know of anyone who has tried this combination, so you're on your own.
Many other versions of BusLogic cards are working with NetBSD.

You'll want to have my updated bt driver if you go with a BusLogic
card and NetBSD-current, however.  (Or a hacked version of it if
you're running 0.9).  BusLogic added a feature to the cards that
breaks the old driver.  My new one will be incorporated into current
very shortly.
