Alan,

Correct - 
16-bit ISA cards NEARLY ALWAYS decode the top bits; but 8-bit
cards don't (can't, the wires aren't on that part of the socket).

My comment was based on the i386 branch, which does have such a
config option for the (very) rare installation that needs to support such
a board.

I was only wondering if this would be a REASONABLE place in the 
code to put it.
