Thanks for the quick and straight-forward answer.
I have the 3rd edition of AHRM, and it might be Appendix K, "Zorro Expansion Bus." It has a section, on page 431, entitled "AUTOCONFIG(TM)."
A quick view of it makes it look fairly complicated -- I was hoping to implement something more simple. Hrrmm..
When you say normal OS functions, can you be more specific and give me examples?
Thanks
