Okay, there is something i'm not understanding here.  In the ed driver,
there are many possible cards, which each have different i/o ports, correct?
The driver has a lot of probe routines, and it looks like they are just
using different macros with hard-coded (#defined) port addresses.

So, how do you CORRECTLY use the newbus calls to probe these ports?  I am
not running -current, so i do not have 'hints'.
