I have made a snapshot of my work on ISA Plug-n-Play support available at: ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/incoming/ISA_PnP.May5.tar.gz MD5 (ISA_PnP.May5.tar.gz) = d9336876e43e6e22eae4ad1349a5aa72 This is ALPHA quality code but is known to work on the following devices: SoundBlaster 16 PnP Supra PnP modems SMC EtherEz GUS Ultrasound PnP (Requires special init code, talk to Amancio) The code should be complete enough to support 99% of devices that function with current FreeBSD drivers (i.e. only need the Plug-n-Play support). If your motherboard supports PnP devices, then you don't need this code (but this driver is useful to better control your device's configuration) The only caveat is that you'll need to manually configure the device (IRQ/DMA/Port/etc.). Work is being done for auto-configuration/better configuration and will be integrated into -current in the upcoming months. The README in the tar will explain everything else. The kernel patch is relative to -current, so -stable users will probably have to make some trivial changes. Let me know if this stuff works on any more devices or if you have any problems. Thanks to Amancio Hasty, John Polstra, Louie Mamakos, and others for feedback and bug fixes. Sujal
