The W-D 8003 and the 8003A are quite close, but not identical.  One low-level
gotcha is that on the MCA, the card has to be enabled before it will appear
at all.  Another is that the 8003A has more memory.  A third is that the
MCA is a 16-bit bus, and the chip's datapaths must be set up that way. 
There are probably a few more.  Not impossible, but not an afternoon's
work, either.  Get a manual before you start...

I don't know of any P-D packages as of yet, but our PC/TCP handles the
WD8003A as of version 2.03 (released last month).
