Hadn't thought that would be a big issue, but then I didn't tell you
that I am only looking for basic text mode or at most 800x600 vga modes
as there really isn't a lot of memory on the host and I'd be unlikely to
want to run X11 or (gasp) a web browser on it ... :)

I was concerned that there may be negative interactions with the comBIOS
or some other memory/IO style conflicts which would cause issues ...
I've recently decommissioned a PC which used to run the services that
this net5501 now handles, but I've now lost a handy console in the
machine room and was wondering whether the unused PCI slot could be used
for this purpose or whether I should get my dead Wyse 50 terminal
running again (which may cost a lot to fix)

Regards,
Malcolm
