In addition to a `BindDrivers' able device, AutoConfig means that the
device is actually `Configured' in to the Amiga memory map during the
KickStart phase of system start-up. The protocall for an AutoConfig device
(and the associated hardware required) is laid out in absolute detail by
Commodore. (Lest I get shot at: By the phrase `hardware required' I am
referring to what the hardware must do, not specific device types, during
AutoConfig. Commodore did, how- ever provide all developers with suggested
hardware device types and even a schematic of a `suggested' system.)
