I don't have any ISA board.

I have PnP CS4236B sound on the motherboard, but isapnpdump doesn't find it. On
newer motherboard revisions, isapnpdump does find the CS4236B. Sound works fine
on all boards with the stock CS4236 driver.

BTW, on newer motherboard revisions the ISA connector is no longer present, but
the PCB traces and holes are, so you can solder your own connector :-)

Greetings,

Geert
