On 22-Oct-98 Thor Lancelot Simon spoke unto us all:
# I'd go with the Qlogic. The driver is a lot simpler and is better
# maintained
# (since it "lives" in the NetBSD tree, whereas we only periodically update
# the
# Adaptec driver from FreeBSD); I get pretty similar performance with either.
#
# Also, you can boot your Alpha from the Qlogic, but *not* from the Adaptec.
#
# Where are you going to buy the Qlogic card? Are they selling them again
# outside of huge OEM orders? For a while they weren't.
What about the Diamon fireport 40's or the IWILL UW cards? Ie.. whats the
next best thing to a adaptec 2940UW?
