I haven't finished the code for this yet :-) Eventually all FreeBSD PnP (Isa PNP I mean), will just read the settings from the isa_device structure. In the meantime, if you look at the PnP configuration code, after the CSN is set- You can read the registers for IRQ/DRQ/etc (instead of setting them, as I do now). If would like to wait a couple of days, I'll cleanup some of the code I have now and send it to you... Sujal
