it doesnt say anything about requiring a 486/586 so i assume it will work on an AM386DX40? yes, if multicard have own BIOS, then it must work on mostly any machine. and must provide own boot options. as say here: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?51005-Promise-FloppyMax-ISA-LS-120-IDE- …

Atapi boot (cd/dvd/zip) does by BIOS and not related with physical interface. Most 386 bioses is not capable boot from cd, and most 586 - capable.
