hehehe: On my eb164:

sio0 at pci0 dev 8 function 0: Intel 82378ZB System I/O (SIO) (rev. 0x03)

So see? That's identical to the multia.

Technically, it is ISA...but remember those integrated controllers are
really both. Don't you just love that PC hardware? I especially love
those PC interrupts. :-(
