Yes! You don't need the drivers, although it's nice of them to provide them
for Linux. As root, do a `cat /proc/pci` and it should list your pci devices.
Find your card in the list and there will be a line that says, "I/O at
0Xffc0" or some such address. That's the address to use in your .ini file! If
it lists more than one address, try them in order. If you have trouble, post
the /proc/pci listing and a short note to the emc-users list.
