If I remember correctly the DMA had problems (or this was 1510?). So all
drivers (SCO and Novell too) disabled it. There were conditions when it could
go on holiday. But this is off the top of my head. Have not seen one of these
for ages and I may as well be incorrect.

Agree. There are some other 16bit cards that may be suitable as well.
