Can you point me to an ISA bus reference? I'm afraid I know nothing about
how it works - whether it's multiplexed or not, what the timing of the
address lines, READ# and WRITE# lines is like, how DMA request and
acknowledge lines work, etc etc etc

I propose that the SoundBlaster 64 interface use non-Plug'n'Play cards
configured for the 'normal' SoundBlaster settings - ie. 220h - 22Fh,
certain IRQs and DMAs.
