I got a WD8003EB for my SCO Unix box.  Instead of good ol' jumpers to set the
IRQ vector, I/O address and so on, it's done by a s/w config program.  Which
runs on DOS.  Hmmm.  Now, I DO have a DOS box to do this, but it seems a bit
dumb for WD to assume their cards are only for DOS m/c's.  It was a but of a 
fiddle, but now that it's in, it's OK.  I can't vouch for its performance,
though, as I only ever have it lightly loaded.
