  I'am currently investigating that code path, Dan.
  We have also come to the same conclusion as u.
  But believe me, I had tried with all possible
  Switch settings, S3,S4,S5,S6. :-( Its tantalising !
  This means that all ISA interrupts are not
  being routed properly. One more, I haven't
  initialized the WinBond, coz reset values seem
  meaninful. Could that be the reason for
  this ?

  Any suggestion from experienced people is welcome.


Is there any other switch, other than the S3,S4,S5,S6
I need to worry about.
