I had a problem with a Future Domaine TMP-3260 (the only PCI card they have)
and it turned out to be that I didn;t set an IRQ for the card in my PCI CMOS
setup! After doing that, I realised that OS/2 requires IRQs to be set or
at the very least different from other cards even if DOS works fine
without that.

Good luck.
