   Current system: 486sx/20 running at 40MHz, 8MB RAM, ISA motherboard,
       standard VGA, Maxtor 7345AT drive, Plus HardCard IIXL 105 (not
       recognized by non-DOS, -MSWin, -OS/2 systems).

   Upgrade plans: 1GB SCSI drive, Adaptec 1542C, 1280x1024 SVGA, Paradise
       card, an additional 500MB IDE drive and an upgrade to 16MB RAM,
       plus a QIC-150 SCSI tape drive and a Toshiba TXM3301E1 CD-ROM
       (borrowed as needed from an SGI Indigo).

Either of these should work fine with NetBSD-current.  I think the
HardCard has an incompatible interface and relies on its own BIOS,
though, so it will not work.
