Thanks for the attention to the problem, Robert.  I consulted with the
guy here that wrote the tulip driver for Tru64, and he made some
recommendations, none of which changed the behavior I'd been seeing.
He mentioned, though, that the Trio64 card was never supported on the
Miatas, partially because of conflicts with other devices.  At the
moment I'm going to take a Mach64 for a spin and see if that changes
things.

Thanks,
