Win95 ran just fine on an ISA only 486. Not dead what so ever. So does
Debian for that matter, I just haven't had to reinstall since installing
2.1 quite a number of years ago (2.0 didn't install so well). In fact
win95 was the first to support ISA PnP, so I would hardly say it tried
to kill it, in fact it tried to make it easier to use. Maybe XP tried
to kill ISA.
It really seems a shame to exclude support for machines for no other
reason than someone having taken offense to loading a tiny little module
that doesn't hurt anyone.
