????  I used one of these to install a Linux system via NFS.  I do recall 
that the default IRQ is 3 for these cards, and if I recall correctly Linux 
is expecting it to be on IRQ 5.  The default port of 0x300 is OK.

If this is the case, you can probably get around this with a LILO option 
setting the IRQ.
