I'd be interested to test with and without PCI_PROBE_DONTKNOW-patched
install floppies under Connectix' Virtual PC 1.0.1 on a PowerMac ... as it
behaves much like the Compaq Deskpro, probes as Mode 2 but finds no PCI bus
devices yet if you force Mode 1 it works and finds everything properly.

If either of you (or anyone) has w/ & w/o floppy images I can FTP, please
let me know.
