Another data point:  My BIOS has bus master options for each of the 4
PCI slots.  I'v found, by mistake, the some devices will not work, or
will work in odd ways, when they are not made a bus master.  In
particular, my SMC EtherPower would not send packets out and by
BT-946C SCSI controller would just lock the system up.
