Actually doesn't this part have some 8bit backward compatibility mode?
I vaguely recall something like this from reading the datasheets.  My
brother has a Deskpro XL, but the pcscp driver didn't exactly work
last time he tested it.  It looks like the driver was changed in January,
so it may work better now.  I'd suggest trying one of the 1.4alpha
snapshot boot floppies, and see what happens.
