What determines the correct way to do those tasks? Is it really
mainboard specific; ie. circuit design? Even if there is a unique
supporting circuit on the boards, the chips that we talk to from
software will only have a finite ways they can work, so we should
always be able to use parameters..

Thanks, I "forgot" about that one. :) What makes those interrupt
handlers board specific though? What they return might also be
easy to control by simple parameters.
