I always suspected that it may be something with the BIOS on the XT that makes the MER with 8.2 BIOS not work.
Now that I own an actual PC as well, I will try it out on both and see what happens. that probably won't be happening for awhile, but I'll post back here when i get to it.
My symptoms are (again, sorry if you've read this before) the card would not find any drives and/or hang in POST. Totally bare XT machine (dunno the BIOS) and only a video card installed.
Move the same card+cable+drive into a different 8bit machine, and it works perfectly. There were no IO or memory conflicts in either machine.
Some day I will get to the bottom of this one...
