Did you try the ioport patch that I posted yesterday?  It should do a
scan of each possible ioport in the list returned by the PCI bus to
find out which one is writable, in the event that the first one (the
only one checked in 0.89H) is not.  It "might" be that this is your
problem here, since the register contents are vaguely reminiscent of
what I see when the card initializes on an unwriteable ioport.
