    That sounds like it might be what I'm after. My goal is to be able to probe
    the machine and set ISA_CARDS based on the probe. What's a DMI table and
    how can I query it for the presence of ISA slots?

    What I want to do with this is make ISA-card questions invisible on modern
    PCI-only motherboards.

    The men and women who founded our country knew, by experience, that there
    are times when the free person's answer to oppressive government has to be
    delivered with a bullet. Thus, the right to bear arms is not just *a*
    freedom; it's the mother of all freedoms. Don't let them disarm you!
