I'm not aware of any conflict between Digium TDM and Diva Server,
although I did not test that configuration.

Anyway, I've set up some asterisk boxes with 2/3 DIVA-2M, even
one with a Diva BRI-2M 1.0 and a DIVA BRI-2M 2.0 in the same PC,
as well as one server with two DIVA 4BRI-8M 1.0 in it.
Whe you run Eicon Config utility,
the software recognizes instantly all cards & models, and numbers
each port sequentially, so that you can access them in asterisk
individually or as a group by properly configuring chan-capi
via capi.conf and Dial().
