I've successfully installed Plan 9 on a 486 ISA motherboard with
AHA 1542 CF SCSI controller.  At some point in the future I want
to acquire a new system with a 586 PCI motherboard.  My hardware
supplier lists the following PCI-SCSI controllers:

	- Adaptec 2940 (also "W" and "UW")
	- Adaptec 2920 / TMC 3260
	- Buslogic FLASHPOINT LT
	- Buslogic(?) KT 930 SGT
	- Buslogic(?) KT 950 SGTX

As I understand, the Adaptec 2940 is not (yet?) supported.  The
FAQ mentions that "Buslogic Controllers are the most trouble-free",
does this include the FLASHPOINT LT?  As it costs only half as much
as the Adaptec I fear it is a stripped down design (LT == light?)
that leaves much to the driver software and the general statement
that Plan 9 "works with ALL Buslogic Controllers" might not be
applicable.

Any recommendations?  I'm not limited to the above list, so feel
free to add your proposal!
