I can't see that BT-958 is supported, from the 3.0 release > pages, but the readme for CAM says it supports it. I don't know anything about BusLogic, on the other side I'm very happy with my new Tyan Thunder 100 DLUAN motherboard. The onboard SCSI is well supported and same for onboard ethernet. I can recommend that particular board, though it's quite pricey. Anyway, I'm not so rich that I can buy cheap things..
