Even though this card may work under Linux, understand that there is
no support for it that I know of under NetBSD or FreeBSD. Also,
please realize that this card, like IDE, requires the CPU to do all
the work and will be *much* slower than an intelligent SCSI card such
as the BusLogic cards or the Adaptec 154x and 174x. It's up to you,
but be aware of the limitations before you buy.
