I have here a brand-spanking-new DigiBoard PC/Xem intelligent serial
card, plus a cable and a box with 16 RS-232 connectors. However, I can't
seem to get them working with the FreeBSD DigiBoard driver. When I build
and boot from a kernel with the dgb driver installed, I get:

dgb0: PC/Xi 512K
dgb0 at 0x204-0x207 maddr 0xfc0000 msize 524288 on isa
dgb0: 2nd reset failed

and the ports don't work. It looks as if the card is recognized; however,
the second message suggests a hardware problem. The docs hint that there
might be a problem with the card in machines with more than 15 MB of RAM,
but when I cut the amount to 8 MB I got the same result.

How can I find out what's wrong?
