This is covered pretty effectively in the FAQ.  See
"http://cynjut.neonramp.com/FAQ.html" for the easy way in.  

Personal anecdote:  I was running a 32M ISA 486 here (cynjut) with a
1522 controller and several SCSI devices.  Since the controller doesn't
do DMA, I was in hog heaven.  As soon as I wanted to upgrade to a 1542
SCSI controller, I had to downgrade to a 16M 486.  I'm still using the
1522.
