On a 16-bit ISA slot there are about 10 IRQ lines.  If I were
implementing the ISA slot on the 425, I'd wire them all together and
run the single trace off to something with an input that generated an
interrupt.  If that's the Frodo, then that's fine & dandy, but there's
a powerful lot of ASIC crap over by the ISA slot, and it wouldn't
surprise me too much to discover that it's a completely different beast.

Of course, if it _does_ implement ISA properly (ie. provides both
I/O mapped and memory mapped space, as well as busmaster DMA), then there's
no end to the evil things that could be done with it.  8)

*grumble*  Time to go back to reading disassebly.  There should be a law
against selling undocumented hardware.  We even give you the schematics
with our gear 8)

I'll go read it before I make more of a fool of myself 8)

Understood.

Uhh, about 750km by road.
