Dear Gurus,
  Please enlighten me whether 

     noname NCR-based ISA bus SCSI card 
will work under FreeBSD 2.0.5 /2.1 ?

List of supported adapters names NCR - but PCI version only.
Real-world problem is that we need cheapest SCSI card (yet with DMA - no PIO)
ranking something like 40 to 60 $$. 
AHA 1542C is sure-strike solution - yet it have tag of 150$ with luck.
 
Please reply directly to me - I'll post a summary fit for inclusion in FAQ 
(in case it will turn big and interesting :-).

With best regards

Fedor Gnuchev
