Well, this turned out to be the case.  In addition, the EtherEZ has a mode
that doesn't use a shared memory buffer to communicate.  I modified my card
settings to use the memory mapped settings, the proper IRQ and turned OFF
PnP and the system recognized my card.  Incidentally the setup program I had
(EZStart) only showed the first four digits of the memory buffer address,
but I set it up for 0xCC00 and it worked just fine.
