Is it a PnP or a soft-config card? I think windows would say, but it's been
a while since I've had to deal with one. PnP should be gotten to work well
enough. But if it's a soft-config and doesn't work with the Windows settings
(But you could try setting it different - I use io=0x320 irq=5) most likely
you're stuck.
