- The probe that detects the 3c503 card fails to properly check
- the shared memory. This means that shared memory is
- detected and given an address even though it is disabled by the
- onboard shared memory jumper. There are MSDOS 3c503 drivers that can
- use a 3c503 card with the shared memory disabled.

- Yeah, but it's real fussy to get right. You have to bunch your I/O's
- in blocks of 16, then wait for the board to get ready for more. It's
- really icky. Much better just to set the board to shared memory mode.
