Ditto, but can we use Ralf Brown as the depository?  I've made sure
that he consents to this added abuse of his time:-) I've already sent
him the two ports that I know about (8250 UARTs and Parallel Ports).
The file should be appearing in the next rev of the Interrupt List
(v32) due to be released this weekend.  Since this appears to be
rather late notice for the additional information, perhaps we should
let Ralf get the next release before we deluge him with all of the
information. 

I too would like to know which ports I can program too.  Mainly to verify
the validity of various hardware (at the hardware level) but also for my
desire to know things that most normal people wouldn't care about;->
