  I have an AST Premia GX P90 with 32mb ram, I use the NCR 810 built in SCSI
controller and have had no troubble with it.  The system do not do anny
thing heavy it serves 30 users on NFS and and do the news for us.  I have
onlly booted the system for upgreades 1 in the time I had it up running
linux (4 monuths) and it has bean good.  NFS is slow on linux but it works.
Maybe the preformance the driver deliver is not to good?  I am not shure
since I have not tested the system on anny other thing than linux.
