Well you can probably get a PCI<->ISA bridge and a passive backplane ;) I think a better option would be to remove the test in sio.c for the AMD64 case since isa_irq_pending() won't do anything. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
