I found out the problem.  The card allows for all manner of hacks to
make it ``faster'' on an ISA bus.  Things like putting the data on the
bus in the wrong time frams and such (usually all faster than normal)
and once these were set back to ``normal'' it works.

Just one more thing to check on ``broken'' cards.
