I can't find the documentation, but I did have a Diamond Stealth manual that
listed the I/O ports used by the card.  I distinctly remember that 02E8h was
one of those ports.  So yes, there's a conflict.  No IRQ problem, though.
Most video cards either don't use an IRQ, or use 2d / 9d.  (I think the
Stealth had a jumper to enable or disable IRQ 2.)
