I have a PWS 433au which I have installed NetBSD on. I have IDE disks
instead of SCSI disks though. Thanks to the great Miata chipset it has
wonderful DMA bugs, as I recall. I think that in the end the disk is
driven with PIO, so slow is it.
I think that I put in a generic IDE PCI card for a second disk, but I
can't really remember...

The PWS survives the AMD computer that replaced it in active use.
