The MAD16 is a particular device which includes a wss-compatible
system; it's certainly not representative of all wss devices.

The original statement is correct. Let me reprhase it in a way that I
hope is clearer:

"There are some ISA devices for which it is not possible to
programmatically determine what resources will be used."

ISA devices cover the entire annoying range of possibilites of
resource configurability and queryability.
