Does anybody have experience with NetBSD using PCI interface cards
(ethernet,SCSI)? I know the INSTALL file lists an NCR PCI SCSI board as
supported.

This is for a Usenet News server...

I'm currently running on an EISA DX50 motherboard with an Adaptec 1742
EISA SCSI card and a SMC Elite ISA ethernet card. If I want to upgrade
to a pentium motherboard, the only affordable boards are ISA/PCI, which
means I'd have to switch to PCI since it can't handle my existing controller.

Has anybody tried this? How does PCI compare to EISA?
