 It's been a while ago that i've been using a Bt742A.  I remember that
 it wasn't totally unproblematical for me either.
 
 . turn off ISA DMA emulation,
 . use level-triggered IRQ,
 
 and with FreeBSD > 2.1:

 ...disable the ISA Buslogic driver.  Since the EISA device will also
 respond on the ISA addresses, the driver gets confused otherwise.

 Because it didn't have EISA controller code, so the card has been
 handled as some sort of an ``extended ISA'' device.  There was
 definately no EISA autoprobing in FreeBSD <= 2.1R, but it is there
 now.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
