Not especially; the code in the kernel also works with CATS, and I gather with 
some other boards too.  ISA interrupts are almost always edge triggered.  I'm 
not aware of anything that your BIOS needs to set up.

The 8259 is a terrible chip.  If you prod it in the wrong way it will either 
go off sulking and refuse to generate any more interrupts, or start 
interrupting permanently.  But the existing ebsa-285 code should work I would 
have thought.
