The -current (soon) will work with 32MB and ISA (we have had the typical
problems of a new implementation.)  I STRONGLY suggest going EISA however
(And I wish that I had.)  The BT747S is a really good EISA controller --
rock solid and very much worth going to EISA.  The BT545S ISA SCSI controller
is good too, but EISA is THE way to go!!!!  (I am using ISA and feel a
little bit limited.)
