If you intend to use it with the builtin NCR-810 SCSI (IIRC), you
won't want to go high end since that controller will only do FAST-10,
not even WIDE.

Putting a better controller in is certainly possible, but you might
not be able to boot from it, as the SRM/ARC console driver may be
"inadequate"... ;-}

Just some random thoughts; good luck.
