I bought a "SuperXTIO" card for  my old faithful XT. This 
card has a serial port, game port, FDC for 1.44Mb, 1.22Mb, 720Kb
and 360kb drive, and real-time clock.  Good grieve the serial port
works but the real-time clock and the FDC did not function properly.

First I have to install the drive every time I cold boot. Even then I
might not get the proper drive density I asked for.  The real time 
clock doesn't seem to work.  I have to set it everytime I cold boot.

I have check the memory map. The card  address is not in conflict with other
cards on the machine.  The battery on this card is ok. I measure the 
voltage.  What could possibly be wrong? I appreciate your help and  
troubleshooting pointers.
