I had almost the exact same problem with a Cyclades 16-YeP card about
a year ago, and never got an answer. Mine would lock up the entire
computer a minute or two after trying to access a port with tip.

If someone out there thinks they can fix this, I'd be happy to
loan them the card and breakout box for that purpose.
