I can only conclude that:
1. The IDE board is slightly awry

#1 and #2 are easy to accept, but not #3. Is there such a limitation?
Yes. The 8th card slot on the XT is "different" in its timings. Mostly
meant for certain specific cards; I've got a bunch of old documentation for
add-in cards that say they won't work in that slot. Offhand, I can't
recall which cards work there, but a guess might be a memory expansion
card.
