Original poster (J. Redd) responds:
Thanks to everyone for your help. I just have one more question about all
this. Suppose I forget about this "pseudo-EISA" stuff and buy an ISA SCSI
controller? Will the HiNT chipset still affect it? And if not and it works
with Linux, what kind of performance hit am I likely to take? Finally, I've
read some good stuff about the BusLogic controllers. What about getting a
caching, ISA SCSI-II BusLogic card? I already have some available memory.
I came up with this as a substitute for replacing my entire motherboard.
What does everyone think? Thanks again for your help!
