It works. I wrote the original code but don't maintain it now.

Yeah. I believe dino is capable of running up to 66 Mhz PCI (2x-PCI)
even though it's not clear that was ever done because of trace lengths.
Bus speeds above 33Mhz require 3.3v signalling.

Yes - Tulip 100BT and all Symbios SCSI wun just fine. :^)
General advice:
"Universal PCI" cards (cards which are keyed to fit both 3.3v and 5v slots)
in general should work if you find a driver. Otherwise look at the product
specs to determine which voltage slots your B132L supports. Oh and the slots
are keyed to prevent folks from installing incompatible cards in the slot.
So if you already have the cards and know a driver is available, just try
to install the card.
