Ahem, NICE makes at least two lines of EISA boards.  One is HiNT based
and the other is SiS based.  The latter board does support bus mastering
DMA in excess of 16M.

As it happens, the SuperEISA Rev 1 board is one of those nice (no pun
intended) SiS EISA chipset based boards that you recommend in your post.
So the problems probably lies elsewhere...
