No problem with a fully populated board. I have 32 ports running on a
box (hal-pc.org) that acts as a shell, slip & UUCP server for our PC club. No
problem with two fully populated boards, unless you address the second one at
0x180 and have an AT disk controler in the system (it uses a port in the 0xf8x
range.) Why did I tell you this? I had motherboard with a built in IDE
controller that could not be disabled.
