I'm trying very hard to get two PCI cards running at the same time.
The only thing I reached so far is that the machine boots and runs
normally with those 2 cards. But as long as all things on this earth
rely on the bios of VGA-cards we'll never get them working unless
the cards provide a jumper to remap the BIOS.....

Hm, I have got an idea.... what about reading the bios of the 2nd card
and then mapping it later into the memspace......
