Hmmm. If this is true, and it's intended *solely* as a QnD, then why net let him have his own isa_dmastatus()? It doesn't hurt anything, and it's not something that will live on in infamy. I think maybe this whole thing got blown out of proportion in the posting by... (uh-oh 8-)) complaining about the seperate isa_dmastatus(). The issue of PnP (admittedly, he didn't raise that one in this particular case, so it's kind of off-topic) is still hotly debateable, I suppose (not something I'm going to debate late on Sunday, though...).
