Wow, I need to learn how to type.  Let me try that second one again:

For users of the HVR-1600 and other CX23418 based cards that basically
don't work: Is your card not behind a PCI-PCI bridge chip that is set
for "subtractive decode" (i.e. directly behind a host bridge, or behind
a PCI-PCI bridge set for positive decode)?
