Well, I've carefully steared all my ISA board purchases away from PnP, so I
haven't had to deal with it.  My knowledge of PnP is limited to the fact
that it exists.

Oh, and (ok, I know another sentence-worth about PnP :-) also I know that
Takashi, the guy that wrote AWE driver, does have PnP support in it for
Linux.

     http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html

in particular the FAQ entry on AWE PnP detection looks interesting:

     http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/awedrv/awedrv-faq.html#Q2.3

I don't know if this could be easily incorporated into Luigi's PnP code or
not.  

Luigi, could you give this FAQ entry a look a see what you think?  

It looks like they give some sort of PnP port read/write script to do the
PnP detection right there in the FAQ.  I don't know if its all that's
needed or not though.
