If you have a BusLogic, call their Tech Support.  They have some
undocumented entry points in the ROM that can do various exercises.
I'm not sure if this one is included or not.  I remember having one of
their techs have me call an undocumented ROM entrypoint and it had the
card do non-stop busmaster DMA tests overnight, once, when I was
having some problems.
