I have found that theare is some variability with the way
certain PCI device configure themselves into the bus. Speaking
from experience with the Buslogic 946C, you may need to set your
AHA2940 to "auto" configure. If that is too obvious then you may
need to jumper it so as to force it into a certain interupt and
i/o address.

One other thing that threw me in my first experiences with PCI
was that if you allocate certain interupts to the PCI slots, the
unused ones don't get freed for use by some other lowly ISA card.
If your BIOS gives you an option to assign an interupt to a slot,
only assign the ones being used.

FYI - The combo I like is Tyan-1462 motherboard and Buslogic 946C
