We gave up on this chip and moved to the 9080. It had a
fatal bug as far as we were concerned - it filled
unimlimented BARs with the PLX Vendor ID and 9060SD
part number. Some BIOS's would ignore the junk,
and some would refuse to allocate the card anything.
To prove this was the problem, I wired up an EPLD
to the PCI bus to overide the junk values, and
the problem went away. Hardly a production solution though.
