There are definitely some shortcuts taken on the NCR or some bells and
whistles on the Buslogic...depending on how you look at it. My impression
is that Buslogic has been as helpful as possible with Leonard Zubkoff
writing the Buslogic Linux driver.
The 825 has a BIOS...but the 810 based cards do not, and can't be used to
boot from a SCSI disk unless your system BIOS has the appropriate BIOS
extensions built in. Most Pentiums do...but some don't.
