The 3Com driver in 386BSD 0.1 + pk 0.2.3 claims my 16-bit 
twisted-pair 3C503 card has shared memory errors.  I know
this is not the case, because if I change the driver so
that it continues anyway when it sees memory errors, the
network works fine _all_the_time_, even when the driver
barfs.  I've tried several combinations of shared memory
and I/O addresses, to no avail...

Any ideas, anybody?

Reagrds,
Lewis.
