Thank you all for helping me out on this problem. The problems turned
out to be an older, non-PnP compatible hardware revision.

Although my rev. Ae1 card was not new, it was still under warranty.
Backed up with net.information, my local dealer promptly replaced
the card with a rev. E card, even though this dealer no longer sells
BusLogic...

My rev. E card worked right out of the box, with the disk that
was previously connected to a 445C, and faster too.

BTW, does anyone know whether the new Linux BusLogic beta drivers
can be used with development kernels (1.3.40, for now) ?

Again, thanks,
Pim
