I guess that's safe. If someone really has a weird box were that is not true I guess they'll have to live with defining CONFIG_ISA. In theory one could introduce an CONFIG_VLB, but I don't think it is worth it. > > > > +if [ "$CONFIG_ISA" = "y" ]; then > > > > + dep_tristate 'Generic NCR5380/53c400 SCSI support' CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380 $CONFIG_SCSI > > > > + if [ "$CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380" != "n" ]; then > > > > > > This is used in multiple non ISA situations. > > > > Only on ancient motherboards (I remember having it on some really old EISA > > machine) and non PC devices, no ? > > On just about anything.
