     Just FYI, here's a partial list of NCR/Symbios-based boards (I
haven't verified all of this, but I believe it to be correct):

        Data Technology 3130B (815-based, with BIOS).  Note that the
	        "3130B" has a BIOS, whereas the "3130" doesn't.

        Tekram DC-390U, DC-390F, & DC-390W (The 390U and 390F are
	        875-based, and I think the 290W is based upon the 825.
                However, you want to *AVOID* the plain DC-390, as this
                is based upon an AMD chip, and not the NCR/Symbios one.)

        ASUS SC-200 (810-based, without BIOS)

        Tyan S1365 (825-based, fast/wide SCSI, with BIOS)

I don't know if all of these are available in Europe, though.
