The only AT-bus cards that hack interrupts greater than 7 are the 3Com
3C505 and the other "16-bit AT-bus" cards (Gateway, IMC and Tiara that
I know of, maybe others).  3Com's PCS/TCP, our PC/TCP and NRC Fusion
all have 3C505 drivers that I know of, and the other cards I mentioned
all have Packet Drivers.  The 3C505 is the only  card that I know will run
in either a 16-bit slot in 16-bit mode, or an 8-bit slot in 8-bit mode.
The others come in 16-bit and 8-bit versions.

Most Microchannel cards will work on some or all of the 2nd 8259's
interrupts, but that wouldn't seem to help you...
