From the responses to my original question, I deduce that there
is a problem with BSD 2.1 not being able to handle muliple pci cards
using the same interrupt. So I have three choices:
1. Try a different pc with a motherboard/bios that allows me
to configue different irqs for each card.
2. Leave the pci fddi card and replace the other cards with isa
cards.
3. Complain to BSD and see if they can fix the problem.
I don't like any of these choices, but I guess I will try in order
1 2 3.
