	Do the Buslogic VLB cards (445) also have this extended mode?  I
	use one as a 1542 compatible, and it seems to work ok, but I haven't
	used it with more than 16MB of RAM.

i don't have the manual handy to verify, but unless i misread it the following
comment from the driver indicates it does (i've never used a 445):

	/*
	 * Try to determine if this is a Buslogic 32-bit controller
	 * by attempting to obtain the extended inquiry information;
	 * this command is not implemented on Adaptec 154xx
	 * controllers. If successful, the first byte of the returned
	 * data is the host adapter bus type, 'E' for 32-bit EISA,
	 * PCI and VLB buses.
