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.

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.

an NDA and other paperwork signed to get sketchy
documentation for their
products. Once Adaptec changed their programming documentation policy,
Mylex seemed to take a large drop in sales.
Why? Mylex still makes *very* fast SCSI RAID controllers. They're
just not i960-based anymore. They're StrongARM-based.
