- That's funny, I run a 3c503 in a 16-bit slot AND have an Orchid Fahrenheit
- 1280 card in the machine too (also in a 16-bit slot). Works perfectly. I
- am using the packet drivers V9.4.0 with shared memory enabled.

- However, my WD8003 card DID NOT work in this same configuration. That's why
- I pulled it and went with the '503.
