no.. the TMC-1610 is a 16bit isa card...  with a blank socket...  which I
would guess can house a bios...

it looks like the PAO group has a working driver for the Future Domain
18C30... probably what needs to happen is possibly port the interface
logic to the different busses (isa,pci,pccard)...   ttyl...
