Hey I've still got one of those cards somewhere and the 1 to 4 cable...
IRQ15 is for the second hard disk or cdrom isn't it?
perhaps there is a conflict there. These cards came out way before
cdroms iirc

I have just inherited an old ISA bus EasyIO 8-port card, for the

Having checked the board against the documentation for IRQ and I/O
address information, I added the needed single line to configure the
device.
Trying the -386 kernel on Dapper gave me a kernel panic.
Trying the driver on FreeBSD 4.10 (same author as the Linux driver, I
believe) didn't panic but also didn't work.
Trying the MS-DOS diagnostic (I really should have done this first...)
didn't find the card at all. Why the silly thing is hard-wired to IRQ
15, I don't know.
I've been told to give up.
We now return you to our normal programming.
