Ah, I was not aware that the 433 was an EISA system.  No, that would 
make sense, if one were to assume that on the 433 you had to pick one
interrupt for each slot from each set, or there was a single per-slot
interrupt.

I would have to assume that the EISA bus interface is going to be
at least slightly different from the ISA interface in the 425 
though.

If you have a chance, boot your 433 into the Apollo monitor and tell
us what

gives; hopefully it will look like the utility chip is there.  I'm
just booting my first frodo-aware kernel, let's see how it goes...
Nope, I busted it.  Drat.  Ah well, keep trying.
