That's right, you have to be sure to enable all three of the AWE ports in
your PnP (boot) config.

pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20

as well as, of course, the "main" device:

pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388

This is all as it should be.  Reboot with the -c switch and configure your
PnP.  That should do it.
