Well considering Leonard's sources, I doubt that he is wrong.  Here is
what the Linux Buslogic driver has to say about this:

  /*
    BusLogic BT-445S Host Adapters prior to board revision E have a
    hardware bug whereby when the BIOS is enabled, transfers to/from the
    same address range the BIOS occupies modulo 16MB are handled
    incorrectly.  Only properly functioning BT-445S boards have firmware
    version 3.37, so we require that ISA Bounce Buffers be used for the
    buggy BT-445S models if there is more than 16MB memory.
