Hey, Jordan, you never did mail me that Buslogic VLB card you offered!  :-)

Well, it is pretty good at what it was intended for (a faster bus for video 
cards), and assuming you can live with the two-slot limit, works great for 
SCSI and IDE cards, too..  But, like most PC "standards", ultimately, it's 
a kludge.  At any rate it works for me, so I'll live with it until I can 
afford a new Pentium (P6?) system like you guys..  :-)
