   The Packet Driver V.9 for 3c503 is supposed to support 3c503 with shared

Nope.  As changes.doc says of the 8.x, "The 3c503 driver has some code
added to use the board in I/O-mapped mode.  Unfortunately, there
wasn't time to get it working.  It'll have to wait for the next
release."  

Since the 9.x changes don't say anything, it's still true of the 9.x release.
Maybe I'll get it into the 10.x release...
