How does this cope with ranges of ports? (For instance, a card that needs ports from 0x200 to 0x20f or similar?) This seems more like the method OpenBSD (which I'm not an expert on, since it paniced 30 minutes after I installed it and I gave up) uses, with a kernel representation of the system bus. A proper implementation of this (which I'm also not an expert on) could seriously help with cross-platform support for similar cards (think PCI buses on PCs and Macs). But surely with a "dev" translator, this sort of thing could be done automatically, or from a config file? The style would be more akin to an ioctl on /dev than setting translators. -- Adam Sampson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
