Did you bt946 come from Micron.  They have worked extensivly with BusLogic
to make the boards work with there motherboard, and I think in doing so
they have broken it badly for most of the rest of us.  Micron systems
either require a special revision D board, or the new revision E board.

Micron will not support you if you have any other revision.  This information
came from my contact at BusLogic.  Also the revision is MB version dependent,
and certain Micron boards absolutly require the odd ball revision D board
or forget it.
