Well I've been running the same cards with no troubles, but
I've had them "soft-configured" instead of jumpering them.
I run them on 300 10 0xdc000. Some time ago I had troubles when
the kernel was configured for two floppies while only one
was installed.  I don't know whether that was fixed, if it
wasn't you could try fixing that.
