I'm having trouble making a BusLogic (formorly BusTek) B542BT
bus-mastering SCSI host adapter work with my 486DX-33 (Pioneer
486WB/33 with OPTI write-back cache).

I suspect the DMA.

Some of the diags that run under DOS crash.

When I use it under SCO Xenix (2.3.2GT + UFN + xnx339), everything
works fine until I load X (Roell's -- ported by Per Linquist).  Then
it crashes within minutes.

This is also the case with non-GT Xenix on the same board (which is
non-scsi, and in theory, shouldn't even try to access the board).

I'd really like to make this work with my current motherboard, but may
entertain buying another one that I __KNOW__ will work.
