What details?  The AHA1742 and BusLogic 742 controllers have been used
to initially port Julian Elischer's Mach SCSI code over to 386BSD.

The EISA support has evolved drastically, so pick up a FreeBSD 2.2
system if you need it soon.  (Also, if it's going to be an HP
Netserver with an on-board 2742, see my other mail.)
