Maybe we can modify "config" to allow a syntax like // // device pnp0 id "CSC4236" config "io 0x604 0x300 0x200 mem 0x300 irq 6 dma 5 6" // device pnp1 id "OPT9310" config "io 0x530 0x330 irq 7 dma 5 6" What about this: controller pnp0 at isa? device gus0 at pnp? device net0 at pnp? etc. Windows 95 treats PnP devices as another brach in the hardware hierarchy, and it seemed reasonable to me.
