Fiddle with the resources and disable PNP.

No can do. All IBM PCI cards are based on the Olympic chipset which there
isn't written any driver for. Somebody started on a FreeBSD driver quite
some time ago but that effort seems to be stalled.

Same as 1)

I would say yes.

I think not - but I am not sure. The current driver expects to find
something on the ISA bus. #2 machine has an PCI card. The current driver
using the tropic chipset might be rewritten to support Auto 16/4 emulation
(tropic) on the PCI card.

As mentioned above - some did start writing support for FreeBSD (which
could be ported) but unfortunately no one has worked on it for some
time. I think they got an Olicom PCI card running - but again - that code
hasn't been ported to NetBSD.

The IBM Turbo/Auto 16/4 PCMCIA cards (tropic based) will though hopefully
be integrated into 1.5
