It is impossible to be 100% non-destructive in an ISA Plug-N-Play probe sequence. This is beacause the PnP specification dictates the use of ports used by early IBM parallel port boards. The best win for real PnP will be the death of ISA. Barring that, you will *always* have to manually configure some hardware/kernel seetings for *some* machine *somewhere*. 8-(.
