Hmmm  - I didn't think that the 509 would even work in eisa mode
at all in the isa bus - one of the traps with that card was that if
it was configed in eisa mode and you didn't have an eisa machine around
to unconfig it in you were hosed.

Actually it sounds like he's using a 3c509 in EISA mode in a non-EISA
machine.

It sounds like the EISA bus code isn't checking to see if a card is
enabled or not before it attaches it.  (checks)  Yep, thats it.
