Version 1.0 of BusLogic BT-445S SCSI Adapter Device Driver for NEXTSTEP Release 3.2 for Intel Processors

OVERVIEW:

BusLogic BT-445S SCSI adapter device driver lets you take advantage of the following SCSI adapters:
Manufacturer	Adapter	PC Bus
Bus Logic	445S	VL-Bus

The driver replaces the NeXT's universal  Adaptec154xDriver on BT-445S
card. Driver uses BT-445S 32-bit addressing mode, therefore the disk
performance is a little bit better on computers with more than 16 MB
RAM.  The increase of performance is according to DrivePerformance.app
about 8% on 486DX2/66 with 32 MB RAM and 1.2 GB TOSHIBA MK538FB SCSI-2
drive. The driver works with BT-445S firmware version 3.31C - we
didn't have a chance to test other versions of firmware.
