SMP supported in NetBSD 1.6, but I haven't tried to
use it yet on my Abit BP6 (well, I tried once a while
back but didn't have the patience to follow through).
Your Tyan board should be supported in single
processor mode until 1.6 comes out.

I haven't heard of an Adaptec scsi card that didn't
work, but that's not much help, I know...

I have a Yamaha scsi burner, and it works just fine.
It's an older model (8824 I think), but it was never
an issue. I saw that there were some firmware upgrades
which I did but I'm not sure I needed to do them. Not
1 problem at all!

As long as you don't get too cute with hardware, it
should work. Get name brand stuff and you should be
OK. If not, get something else. PC hardware is cheap!
