I did this, and the result is that the machine does a virtual-terminal-specific
"cold/warm boot" (with the Video 7 FastWrite card) and then complains that it
cannot find the Adaptec 1542A SCSI disk controller card at Port 330.  After
hitting F1 to continue the boot process it brings up DOS OK, although the
FastWrite won't use it's color modes (the demo solitare cardgame from one of
the mouse vendors goes into b&w mode).

Weird...
