Termination is one, and the ID's a okay: EZ flyer is hardcoded at ID 0, with
termination present.  Tape drive: Termination on, with ID 3.

Here is the output from dmesg :

Is this a PCI/ISA machine?  If so have you reserved the DMA/IRQs the card
uses
via the BIOS?  (this is an old card and may no PnP well).  Are you *SURE*
the
IRQ/DMA/IO isn't conflicting with anything?

It's PCI/ ISA, things should be set correctly, and I know there aren't any
DMA issues.  <cue spoooky music>


I'm at a loss.  Maybe I should install redhat and let it all do it for me.
