I'm running a ppro-150 on a Venus. It works well with both netbsd-1.2
and netbsd-current.
I have no idea about NCR support in the bios. I have an Adaptec
2940UW and that card installs its own bios handler. (It was
challenging figuring out that the card and disks *didn't* work if the
far end of the 50-pin scsi bus was correctly terminated. It only
worked if the far end of the bus was left floating. Go figure.)
