Sorry if that came over a little harsh.... my grandfather passed away
today (well yesterday now) and I'm a little short of sleep....

PnP hasn't been an issue for a while now and is part of the PCI
specification... the chances are likely that your system just ignores
the BIOS and reallocates resources regardless of BIOS setting anyway
;)

It was only *really* an issue in the initial implementations of it
back when ISA still existed... ah the memories of setting jumpers and
working out IRQ and DMA tables by hand to avoid conflicts ;)
