The NCR card is cheaper and on a machine which isn't very disk
intensive (and if you really need to save the $80 bucks or whatever) then
I'd go with it. Buslogics seem to have better driver support under Linux.
I believe the company was very helpful to people wanting to get driver
support under Linux.
I've used the PCI NCR cards before under 2.0.x kernels with
absolutely *no* problems. They defnitely don't have performance problems.
I've heard (although I have no first hand knowledge) that the Adaptec 2940
cards were kinda shitty under 1.2 kernels but that's been resolved with
2.0.
