Hmm, well that complicates things.  I might try one of those Linux Live 
CD's (the kind that boot up to a functional version of Linux without 
affecting the hard drive: see http://www.knoppix.org/) on the newer 
windows machine.  If that machine can find the card under linux, you 
can narrow the problem down to a bad install of linux, or some kind of 
hardware incompatibility/conflict.

Other question:  Are there any other PCI cards or integrated 
peripherals in the 440BX machine?  The TDM400P's don't seem to like to 
share IRQ's.  Maybe you can use the BIOS to reserve an IRQ.
