The (ISA) 16Ye's are almost the same. If there are no ports connected,
you don't find the card at all. The 16Ye's have a SCSI-2 cable to a
bunch of ports.

I don't know about the PCI ones, and I don't know about the 8-way
octopus cable ones.

The new cyclades driver is required for the SM MkII pods, not for
the card AFAIK. There also seems to be weirdness if you have an old
serial pod, and a new serial pod on the same card.
