Micron offers the choice of the BusLogic host adapter or none at all.  I
bought a Millenia 100 a few months ago, but elected the none at all choice
because I wanted the Adaptec host adapter and a 'Cuda 4 drive that Micron
did not offer.  I chose Micron because of their use of Micronics made
system boards.  I have not been sorry for my choice.

I purchased the Adaptec and 'Cuda 4 separately for quite a bit less than
Micron would have charged for the BusLogic card and unstated brand 4 GB
drive. 

But my usage is OS/2 rather than DOS or Win95.
