I don't see any technical reasons why they would not work. The 8255 module is technically a legacy driver but it's used by a number of comedi PCI drivers. There are even a number of baseboards available that provide a passive ISA backplane for PC/104 boards. Here's a link to one: http://www.douglas.com/hardware/pcbs/pc104/bxde63104.html This one provides 2 PCI slots as well as 1 ISA slot for PC/104-Plus systems. http://www.douglas.com/hardware/pcbs/pc104/bxde104163265.html > If you just want the option to build-test the ISA drivers, there is a > COMPILE_TEST configuration option that could be checked, e.g.: > > menuconfig COMEDI_ISA_DRIVERS > bool "Comedi ISA and PC/104 drivers" > depends on ISA || COMPILE_TEST > ---help--- > Enable comedi ISA and PC/104 drivers to be built Build testing is one of my desires. But, if the drivers might be useful for PC/104-Plus CPU boards we might as well allow the option.
