It is just lots of hard earned ad-hoc experience distilled in these files. It's basically untestable/unknown because you'll likely have a hard time to find such a card anymore. And even if you had you would need the other ISA cards that could possible conflicts to test all combinations - impossible task. For such unsolvable problems it is best to leave it untouched because it cannot be tested. Either that or remove the driver completely. -Andi
