I've got one of these, but even after setting all concurrency options
off, it still crashes. Even under DOS...

So I just decided to set all concurrency options to ON and
just not use two DMA channels at the same time. I'll probably
either get an IDE floppy or a PCI soundcard. OTOH, I hardly
ever use floppy, so it's basically a non-issue to me.
