I have one of those, but it is on semi-permanent loan with all its docs. The
good news is that it is on loan to someone who has been running it under Linux
for several years, so I'll ask him to get in touch with you directly.

By the way, it might be in your interest to replace the 16450 chips with 16550
chips. The card will work significantly better with less drain on the CPU.
