Update:

I have found another DE205 and it works :)

However I have to remove the EISA DE422 because if it is in, then there 
is no activity on the DE205. Strange, but I am unable to find out what 
causes this.

What I have figured out is that the DE205 should be at IRQ5 and 2K 
(starting at: D0000) as it is factory configured and to reconfigure I 
have to find a ISA PC to run the setup utility.

So I have tried some other EISA settings on the DE422 to have both cards 
in the machine.

One time when I configured with 32K (the default is 64K) surprisingly 
there were no error message at depca2, but there were no link on the 
DE205...
