  I'm considering to buy the BT946C SCSI card for an ASUS TP4XE board. The
  Linux SCSI Howto mentions a good driver stability because of its mailbox
  communication principle. However, a reliable german computer magazine tested
  this card and experienced several PCI incompatibilities (C't 1/95). It was
  not possible to correctly set up this card in a Plato board.
  Has the situation changed?  Maybe someone is using a BT946C with an ASUS
  board. Suggestions for other SCSI cards are also welcome.

1/95 was a long time ago and those problems should be long passed now.  The
present revision BT-946C should have no problems in a Plug & Play compliant
motherboard.  At one time I tested four of them together in a TP4XE board
and it seemed to work fine.
