The problem is most likely that the vga board that you have is 16-bit, and the memory address that the wd8013 is at is in the same 128K range as the 16-bit vga memory. The MMU on the [34]86 believes that the memory mapped RAM from the wd8013 is 16-bit accessible. I've had this problem here at work. The kludge solution is to put your vga card in a 8-bit slot.
