In a desparate attempt to prevent an I/O port conflict between a 1542B
and a Stallion port card at 330, I changed the port of the Adaptec by
fiddling the jumpers and changing it in /etc/conf/pack.d/dsk/space.c. 
But then as soon as I re-power the system after changing jumpers, the
Adaptec's bios screams that it can't find the card at I/O port 330! 

Is the port address of 330 hard-coded into the bios on the card?  Seems
very strange that the jumpers are avaliable to do it, yet the card's own
bios won't accept it.  Any comment from the Adaptec experts?

Anyway, I sweated blood and got the Stallion to move off 330.
