Anybody knows how the ISA detection works? ISA doesn’t support PNP.
So, how does the OS to detect the ISA device and allocate the good
resources? An ISA device has usually a jumper to select address and
IRQ. So, while the system is booting up, which tasks the BIOS (POST)
does to gather those information. It’s different from PCI device which
it supports PNP.

ISAPnP was out there since 1995.

resources?
For non-PnP ISA, there is no detection. The user must choose the addresses
manually from the options provided to him, the options are from LogConfig
statement in INF file.

There is some ‘ISA’ detection on startup to identify all those well known
legacy devices that are at least theoretically on the ISA bus.

But The BIOS has detected my ISA card when I boot the system. The bios

If you see resources attributed to your ISA card on the POST report,
your ISA card must be Plug and Play. Like Maxim said, ISAPnP has been
around for almost 9 years.
See if you can find the book “Programming Plug and Play”,
by James Kelsey. I have the first edition (c)1995 Sams publishing.
ISBN 0-672-30703-0. All your questions will be
answered there.
Here is a link where they have this book cheap:

I guess they make it work with a cookie they stored in
my computer. Just go back to
http://www.halfpricecomputerbooks.com
and once there do a search (top right hand side) on ISBN for 0-672-30703-0.
That’s how I got to that.
They sell them for us$ 9.99 a copy. The original price was us$ 39.99.
Thanks,
