> LSI Logic/Symbios/NCR 53C810-based PCI SCSI controllers seem like a
> good deal

I think I put this in the Wiki but may have forgotten to send it to
the list: LSI Logic has bought Mylex (who bought Buslogic) and killed
the BT series of controllers that Plan 9 supports.  The
LSI/Symbios/NCR controllers in general are a good bet (but check the
driver source for supported models before buying), and are now the
only supported SCSI cards, *if you are buying new parts*.  So far, the
supported Mylex cards are still available used and it's possible that
retailers have stock of them.
