I bought 4 BusLogic EISA controllers of somesort last year for $2ea
surplus, but haven't yet tested them. They have 4 EPROMS on them, that
much I remember. I also ended up with some assorted and still untested
Adaptec EISA boards in with them. I found a boxed MCA scsi controller from
BusLogic (BT646?) a couple years ago, but don't have a PS/2 I want to put
it in yet. I'm waiting till I find a decent MCA based 486 before I use it.
I've got a few other assorted BusLogic/Mylex non-raid boards laying around
somewhere. I wouldn't mind finding some VLB or different EISA cards tho,
since they would be good for testing driver software.
And speaking of MCA, what kind of slots are available in a P70? I've got a
couple 3c527 boards I was thinking about using, but they are 32 bit.

I was referring to the wide variety of non-RAID host adapters
BusLogic/Mylex used to make. I think they were the last company offering
EISA and VLB adapters, although they also discontinued their ISA product
line right after getting rid of those two.
I've got a couple of EISA SCSI controllers from BusLogic. These can
be had at surplus for $5 or so whenever you want one. These two
belong to someone else, but I doubt he'd object to parting with them.
Since EISA and VLB are of limited interest, the boards for that are
pretty cheap nowadays.
