Well, actually, on REV P4 boards (theoretically all rev's that don't
have the 3-pin disable jumper) you should try removing the LS00 and
connect 3,11,14 together and 7 & 8 together.
This should disable both the IO and memory address decoders and leave
the bus clear for other display controller cards.

You shouldn't be able to boot-up with the other configuration...
