Yes, the BDI (linux) will work with any extra cards provided your BIOS
recognises them. If you use an old ISA card which is not Plug and Pray
compatible, you will have to tell linux where to find it but any of the more
modern cards should be auto-detected. EMC defaults to the second parallel
port being at 278H but you can change that in the ini file if you wish.
