Yes, you're spot on.

Both the 3Com Etherlink III (1994) and the Sound Blaster 16 (1995) cards 
are in ISA slots.
However the EuroViva CommCentre 33.6 modem also is in an ISA slot and 
was, strangely, automatically detected at install time, or so it seems.

In PCI slots I have an adaptec 2903B SCSI(2?) card (external + internal) 
and an STB/S3 Virge/VX 4+4MB Graphics card. They seem to be recognised, 
however ubuntu does not 'know' (device configuration) that the S3 Virge 
is a graphics card - which is strange as graphics seem to work just 
about Ok (lots of flicker, there was no flicker with Win98).

Regards,
Alain.
