	   I'll be getting an Adaptec 1522A controller for
	   SCSI drives.

	   This controller is supported under FreeBSD (so says their
	   FAQ for current).

	   Does Net support it?

Yes, NetBSD supports it.  (I believe there was support in 1.0 for it
(read the INSTALL doc); if not, I know there's support for it in
NetBSD-current.)

It will be an incredibly slow card in comparison to intelligent
bus-mastering controllers, however.
