The worst problem will be older hardware that doesn't play well with 
Digium cards. The TDM400 is the one I have some experience with, and 
even motherboards that are PCI 2.2 don't always see the TDM400
The Sangoma A200 seems more forgiving.
I have to wonder if the T1/E1 cards suffer  in a similar manner?
