That was my thoughts exactly, but the technician claims it to be an
"autoscanning" device, or something similar, and since it is a local
bus controller, it doesn't need the DMA channel.  You only need to
specify IRQ & Port address.

Details:
	Mitron LX-2100v
	===============
	VESA VL-Bus specification
	High perfomance peak transfer rate of 132 Mbyte/Sec at 33Mhz
	32-Bit Bus Master
	Microwire EEPROM interface supports jumperless design
	RJ-45 port for Unshielded twisted pair cable (10Base-T)
	BNC port for thin ethernet (10Base-2)
	Conforms to ISO 8802-3 (ANSI/IEEE 802.3) standard
	10 MBps transmission rate using CSMA/CD method
	Support for IRQ 3, 5, 10, 15

	Chipset
	=======
	PCnet-32 AMD AM79C965KC 40485HX A1 

Lemme know if there is any hope..  Cost me $86 a piece.
