Even ``true ISA'' cards get all addresses, but usually decode only the lower 10 bits. That's why the S3 chips with their 0x**e8 addresses collide with a COM4 on 0x2e8 -- the latter do also recognize e.g. 0x62e8 as `their' address. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
