This is very similar to the case with the 545 card.  I'll look at
the exact revisions tonight and post them.  Basically, the older
firmware/bios works and the newest one doesn't.

It seems that BusLogic has done something similar to both the
74x and the 54x lines with their newer firmware.  It'd be nice
to find out what happened.  In my experience, the cards still
work just fine under MS-DOS (of course) with the newer firmware.
