Humm? Bringing -current's isa.c over to FreeBSD 2.2.x doesn't look
straightforward as I think several other things need to be dragged
as well.

I haven't been able to download guspnp18 yet as your host is refusing
FTP connections just now. But I wonder if to get on the air with
guspnp18 it would suffice to use Luigi's patched isa.c? Does Luigi's
isa.c suffice to compile guspnp18 successfully?

Also the isa_dmastatus() code that committed to current is slightly
different than the code in Luigi's isa.c in snd970829. Do these slight
changes affect Luigi's sound driver at all?

For FreeBSD 2.2.x systems it would be nice if we could use Luigi's
isa.c to support guspnp18 as well. Right now guspnp18 is again out
of sync with 2.2.x.
