	That's (unfortunately) too true... I had patches to make it adjust
	those things in a dynamic fashion based on the size of card mem.
	(I have a couple of 3c507's which let me use up to 64K), but they
	seem to have been lost when one of my drives died.

	[Not that it'd be too hard to re-create them, but I haven't really
	 had the incentive to, since my NetBSD machines seem to run just 
	 fine using only 16K or the card's memory... And that lets me boot
	 DOS/Lose95 without losing all too much memory...]
