The NCR 825 is supported, though I would be rather loathe to use one with 
the stock 1.0 ncr driver.

The BusLogic 956C should also work nicely, but I haven't managed to get a 
client to buy me one to play with yet. :-)

I'd expect the BusLogic to be the faster of the two, only because the 
driver seems to be better.
