Yeah, although you're leaving a few other bits out there 8)

Exactly; sorry if I wasn't clear above - I am quite familiar with the
options as they apply to talking to ISA with memory-mapped processors 8)

All I meant was that I hope that there's both an I/O map window and
a memory-map window (even if it's only the 384K 'hole'); you could argue
a serious life extension for one of these machines with something like an
ISDN card or a multiport serial card, or even just a Soundblaster 8)

We live to perturb your organisation 8) I know I keep begging, but
_any_ information you have is going to be helpful; right now I could
kill for any details on the interrupt structure of the 4xx that might
help work out where the utility chip interrupts (so I can link the
frodo driver in) and what any of its registers do (so I can demux
interrupts 8).

*grins*  I'll be there over easter, but a hair on the busy side then.
