I also hear that BSDi is going to start offering support for >174x
controllers. 174x (EISA) controllers are getting difficult to find, so I
suspect you are right; they are not being made anymore. :(
BusLogic BT747 controllers are still widely available and being
manufactured. They are every bit the equal of the 1742. What is this
