Be aware that due to some "errors" in the chipsets on rev A-C(D?) you can't 
get these adapters PCI 2.0 compliant. Not by doing BIOS-upgrades only.
To resolve this BusLogic offered a free trade on these adapters in spring -95 
to a rev E that had upgraded chipsets. I don't know if BusLogic has still 
got this offer. 
The rev E is to my experience fully 2.0 compliant with full Plug & Prey support
