If you have problems with the pci/ncr driver,
and more information than "won't work (i've tried)",
please send it to me or <se@zpr.Uni-Koeln.DE>.
We would be glad to help you get it running.

The NetBSD's pci driver is about the same as the FreeBSD's,
the NetBSD's ncr driver is exactly the same as the FreeBSD's.
If fact, you can use it with 386bsd (hello Jesus :), Free1.1,
Free1.1.5, and NetBSD.
