The cards are probably responsible for the slow (300-400 kbyte/s)
performance in general but they definitely have nothing to do with the
difference between the various OS's. All my experiments were run on
the same two boxes; I booted off a different partition for each OS.

Is this card 8bit or 16 bit?
