Could be if you've blown the Flash with a new BIOS, that it whacked any on-board settings to defaults. I know my 1742 came configured for BIOS base address of CC000h, and I had to change it. It could be that your eth card has the same expectations as before, and your Disk controller is now arguing with it on it's home turf. I would check the BIOS base address for the AHA before suspecting the eth card. As for the comment regarding 8/16 bit controllers, this applies to systems using the 16-bit ISA bus, ie. all controllers in the Upper memory expansion range (640k-1024k) must have the same address resolution range, otherwise you get clashes between cards due to some cards improperly decoding 16-bit addresses and creating duplicate, "shadow" address ranges that could overlap.
