Good - I bear that in mind if I ever get around to reactivating my 060 
accelerator and the PCI board for that.

Right.

Thanks for clarifying that (and to Niklas as well). Did sound a little 
counter-intuitive to me...

That's exactly the purpose (though we're overmuch pushing the envelope 
trying to accomodate legacy ISA drivers on too many platforms).
