I have a portege 7220cte from toshiba and have serveral scsi devices
like a Jazz, Zip250, cdrom drive and a dat drive. Also a scanner but=20
haven't tested it yet. They all work with the aha1460B slim scsi pccard
on the FreeBSD-4.x stable (currently now 4.3rc cvsup from one week ago)
Have not seen any problem yet with io. I have some messages left.

have a look at it.
