I don't work for Hauppauge either, but I have used their 4860 motherboard.
Last I checked, they did not have a motherboard that was i860XP compatible.
(The XP and XR have different pinouts.)

You might want to check with Hauppauge directly.  Their number is
516-434-1600.  They might also have an 800 number, but be sure to spell the
name for the operator.
