As far as I know, *all* BusLogic cards use the one bt driver. But
you'd have to ask someone who actually runs a bt545s to make sure it
works. My bt747s (EISA) works just great with the same driver people
with bt445s (VLB) cards are using. The programming manual leads me to
believe *all* cards use exactly the same interface (with minor
exceptions made for 24/32-bit addressing, and bus timing on non-EISA
cards).
The card you're looking for is the bt545s. Is anyone currently using
this card with NetBSD/FreeBSD who can verify its operation?
