ISA-busses exist in other ports as well, Amiga for example...
That's m68k!  There was an effort started to make the isa code more
machine independent than it is today, but things got stalled due to me
I guess, as I am the sole author of non-x86 ISA code so far.  I've
been very busy lately, as well as spent some weeks in bed suffering
from several illnesses.  It's been a bad spring :-(
