Until recently I was using a Buslogic BT-747S (along with an Adaptec 1740A)
in my machine, now upgraded to a dual NCR-810 P133... I've used the BT-747S
with great success for more than 3 years without problem.

Probing for devices on the EISA bus
bt0: <Buslogic 74xB SCSI host adapter> at 0x330-0x333, 0x3c00-0x3cff irq 11
bt0: on eisa0 slot 3
bt0: Bt747 / 0-(32bit) bus
bt0: reading board settings, busmastering, int=11
bt0: version 3.37, fast sync, parity, 32 mbxs, 32 ccbs

My Adaptec either didn't have this bugs or I wasn't aware of them.
