Cheaper, yes.  Just as good, not by a long shot.  I've used both, and
they're beyond comparison.  That's a great price for the BusLogic, and
about the only thing you might find wrong with it is that it doesn't
support booting from SCSI CD-ROM drives like the newer models do.
Aside from the card, the Linux BusLogic driver is a lot more bulletproof
than the NCR one.
