The Buslogic 742S is supposed to be compatible but I have heard it is also out of production. A local clone builder found an AUSTek EISA SC100 controller when the 1742 was unavailable. It is 1542 compatible but uses EISA busmastering. It allows up to 16M cache on the board also, but I am not using any. Les Mikesell les@chinet.com
