I hate replying to my own posts, but I made some pretty blatant errors:

!!!! 'most isa/vesa cards'
Non PNP cards had to have some way of setting them, there were two
schools of thought here - first was a series of jumpers that you
changed, next came the jumperless which typically have a configuration
utility (DOS based, came on a floppy) to set the parameters.
now there's PNP (all PCI, some newer ISA) ,where the BIOS and/or OS
have a mechanism to assign resources to each card.

disks in x86 hardware have to use the same partitioning scheme as laid
out by the IBM/MS tools (fdisk). I think this partitioning is called
'FAT' but am not sure about that. It numbers the primary partitions
1,2,3, and 4, and logical partitions from 5.
