Check out the Bus Logic cards.  A lot of people are taking these things
a lot more seriously these days, and the various vendors I have talked
to have all been pretty pleased with them.

I'm extremely tempted to sell off my 1542B and get a 445S VLB card so
I can use teh SCSI-2 disk fully, as well as the > 16bit DMA....  There
are EISA cards as well (I believe there is the 742A as well as the
747S)

						Toodlepip!
