My Turtle Beach Montego sound card refused to work properly with certain
VIA-based motherboards if the interrupts were set to level instead of edge in
the BIOS setup. The same card would only work in certain slots on the old
UMC-based 486 I had when I first bought the card.
I'd probably suspect the bus-timing theory. It looks awfully similar...
