Hi,

What is the path of least resistance for getting an unsupported ISA
PnP device to the point where you can do I/O to it (inb,outb)?
Do I need a driver, or is there some general purpose way for
getting the device "up" to the point that you can use /dev/io and a user
space application?  (on -current)  

If I need to write a driver, would a device driver that just maps the
device be considered useful (feasible to implement?)?

This specific device is a "winmodem" which I believe I have enough
hardware documentation to fiddle with, once I get past the ISA PnP
interface.

Thanks,
-Ted
(ISA PnP newbie)
