 PCI must be handled differently (and is handled differently now).  The
 workaround to enter the IO address of a PCI device in UserConfig is a
 kludge (though the only possibility in pre-2.2 systems, admittedly).
 
 The new method is around since:
 
 revision 1.1
 date: 1996/05/18 17:56:40;  author: se;  state: Exp;
 Add support for NE2000 compatible PCI Ethernet cards. The PCI probe
 is enabled by having an "device ed0 at isa? [...]" config line.
