       - 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.
