Some of your answers can be found by surfing: http://www.freebsd.org/search.html key in "ncr" in the top blank and hit submit, and you'll get links to several lists of varying levels of detail. Personally I can vouch for the NCR810 support. NCR SC-200 SCSI controller was by far the best buy for the money (~$70) when I bought it, and I've never been dissatisfied. It (like the other 810s I believe) doesn't have a BIOS on the card, but if you have a SCSI BIOS on your motherboard, you can still boot off of it. Randall
