I am after some hard facts regarding the various scsi adapters available for
the ISA (AT) bus.  The attributes that come to mind are that come to mind are
of a card :
	* What is the (maximum) SCSI to AT bus transfer rate?
	* What special features does the card have, and how does this assist
	throughput?  (e.g. does it have an on-board micro to handle scsi
	transactions?)
	* Is it compatible with DOS, OS/2 and/or UNIX (ESIX in particular)?
	* Does the above compatibility arise from special drivers that come with
	the card, or from built-in operating system support?
