OT: Mylex problems

I've tried it with the BIOS turned off and also with it enabled.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to get past the point of conflicting at the I/O
addresses, buffer memory range assignment, and interrupt. All of these are in
collision with local system resources. Windows asserts that none of the
assignments can be changed in Device Manager.
