Good luck.  ISA-PNP works almost the same as PCI in Linux.  However,
the only device that uses ISA-PNP is the AT-MIO E series, and the driver
has support for it disabled, since I never got it working.  My only
remaining computer with ISA slots spends most of it's time off.

Everything else needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis.  I've
tried to make documentation of the option lists more uniform, but
that still needs some work.
