beware, the way 'PnP' is implemented is different on different buses.
There is PnP for PCI, ISA, parallel port, serial ports, and who knows
what more...

> o Is there any developments currently for Microsoft-ISA PnP support?

there is ISA PnP support in 2.2.6, and patches for 2.2.X are available
on my web page.

you can trust the bios, or boot with -c and manually override the
PnP configuration

> o What are the interactions between PCI PnP and ISA PnP?

i'd say none.

> o Does the sound-PnP stuff support such things?

yes

see the first note.
