Can you give me a URL if Opti has documents on the WWW?  I tried to
access http://www.opti.com/ but wasn't able to convince it to give me
much; it looked like they were trying to play games with frames that
weren't working.

isapnp maps in all of the regions it finds.

I'm not sure I understand what you wish to do.  Are you telling me
that PnP resources the part returns depend on whether it's in SB or
WSS mode?  That seems...broken...to me.

>Or should I just blow off isapnp_config and do the mappings manually?

I wouldn't recommend that.
