I'm not sure it was _just_ marketing lies... I think it tried to be
PnP, but the 3c509Bs were released shortly after the PnP spec came
out, and before there were many machines which supported it. I'd be
more inclined to believe that they _tried_ to implement ISA PnP and
just messed up.
(Not to confuse this with the mess that is ISA PnP in the first place.)
