Free up any unused ISA IRQ's
Disable some unused devices such as Com2. This will provide free such as
irq 3.
Move cards around try slots furthest apart first.
I have had this problem with 3c590 and DPT controller.
Hopefully this will resolve problem.
If not ask 3com for a later rev of the card by sending it back to them.
Contact 3com for a RMA first.
