	- many cards designed for the ISA BUS only uses the lower 10 bits
	  of the port address but some ISA adapters use addresses beyond
	  3FF.  Any address that matches in the lower 10 bits will decode
	  to the same card.   It is up to the adapters to resolve or ignore
	  the high bits of the port addresses.   An example would be the
	  Cluster adapter that has a port address of 390h.  The second
	  cluster adapter has a port address of 790h which resolves to
	  the same port address with the cards determining which one
	  actually gets the data.
