I'll leave this one because I'm not certain.

The 154x cards are probably the best choice.  The 1505 and 152x cards
are PIO-only, so you incur a hefty CPU overhead - best avoided unless
you like seeing how many `+' symbols you can get on a systat -v screen
:-).  I don't know the 1535.

This sounds quite expensive.  You should be able to find an
NCR-based PCI card for that much.
