It worked fine, except that it couldn't setup the interrupts for the devices.. (it thought it did but they didn't work) it should be set up so that EISA devices have TEXT_SET or DATA_SET entries for their config lines, so that mere inclusion of the driver makes the EISA code aware of it's existance..
