Can you install 2 copys of the fas driver in one machines?

What I am trying to do is add a second AST 4 port card and
looking for the best way to do this.

I have 2 AST 4 port cards, 8 bit versions. Right now one is
installed and working fine on irq4/02a0h with fas207, (soon 208). 

Can I run 2 copys of the fas drivers. Set one up on IRQ3 with 01a0 as
the starting address and one on IRQ4 with 02a0 as the start address.
Can I run 2 copys and have the same IRQ with shared address mode set?

Can I reconfigure my current fas driver to start at 01a0 and go up to 02bf
and have a bunch of dummy ports in between the lower and upper 4?

Anyone know of a cheap source for 8 port serial cards.

Many thanks...
