If you read the man page on sio, it says that only the 8 port cards work.
However, if you are dumb (like me) and go out and buy the card without reading
the man page, you'll probably find out that it does work (although I had to
make the first port on the board the master instead of the last to get it to
work).

I should mention that I've only tested the first 3 ports & the last port to see
if they work, so there could be a problem with using a fully populated board.
