No. My card handbook says that the I/O Adress is at: 3B0-3DF
This memory is not used:

0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0080-009f : dma page reg
00a0-00bf : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : npu
0170-0177 : ide1
01f0-01f7 : ide0
02f8-02ff : serial(set)
0376-0376 : ide1
03f0-03f5 : floppy
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f7-03f7 : floppy DIR
03f8-03ff : serial(set)

Mabye this is important: When I start up a non-ggi-kernel
another I/O-Port is displayed:

03c0-03df : vga+

This one is mission in the ioports list of the ggi-kernel, but I think
this is ok. Or ?

If I select the VGA Chipset, the driver works. If I select the
S3 chipset, it crashes as decived above.
