Perhaps qemu's PCI ne2k emulation could be changed to accept accesses
to the I/O addresses of the classic ISA card too - and disabling the
PCI addresses if an OS touches the ISA ones?  Old OSes which only know
about ISA ne2k would work, and newer ones which enumerate it through
PCI would also work.
