What you can do is to check with controller has his address at a lower address. That controller usually booted the machine. Maybe we can add a field where the driver can put in the address and then decide on that the order which contoller's devices get detected first.
It's not this simple, I'm afraid. In testing just a combination of BusLogic MultiMaster and FlashPoint PCI boards in half a dozen motherboards, I've seen several different recognition orders, and it did not correlate with the I/O address assigned by the system BIOS. From discussions with BusLogic Engineering, it seems that some motherboard BIOS' install the host adapter BIOS extensions based on size, others based on PCI slot order, etc.
