I'd start by just treating the card like the other Farallon card.  To do
that, just add your constants to the case statement in the vendor
selection part.  If that works, you should be up and running.  As I said
before, though, I expect they're using different addresses.  You might
be able to get the numbers from Farallon, but you might have trouble
finding the right person who might know the info.
The addresses are offsets from the base of the card's memory space.  In
nubus (at least on the mac), the card's memory space is defined by the
slot that it's in.  Should be no trouble to run 5 of these cards in a
machine that has 5 open slots.
