Hazy, I was chatting with a fellow yesterday about addon memory, and he
asked if I had a Mfg. number from CBM yet. I said I didn't, and didn't need
one. His next comment made me stop and think. He seems to think that if we
don't have one on the memory expansion, that other expansion devices (non
memory) might not have one either, and that there could be a conflict when
the driver for the other device is linked in. ie. that it might add the
driver giving the address of our memory. I am skeptical, but of course
remain open to suggestions. <grin>
We are trying to implement a minimal autoconfig without resorting to PALs
because we will want to supply bare boards only, and not bother with having
to supply PALs.
