Ok if it's only one thats good news cause I have that board and thus am able to make special cases for it (by actually testing against it). I can just use the ISA-PNP stuff in linux to tell ni_atmio the io ports detected. Coolness.. :) > > Everything else needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis.
