Does anyone here have a dump of the ESS ES1688 PnP ROM? Since the non-PnP ESS ES1688 is now emulated, I was curious if anyone has (or could dump) the ESS ES1688 PnP ROM so the emulation of the PnP version can be added as well. Thanks in advance!
Isn't PNP basically just the BIOS/OS reading the Vendor ID and Device ID from the card and then seeing which of a couple of boilerplate configs works?
I can't find the deviceid for the 1688.
But for example, the ES1983S Maestro-3i PCI Audio Accelerator would simply read as Ven:dev 125d:199a to the OS/Bios and then it gets handled from there.
Or am I completely ignorant of everything and totally out of my field?

What you're talking about is true for PCI but not ISA PnP which the ES1688 PnP would be.

Isn't ISA PnP a subset of PCI PnP? Using ports 8-bit C000-FFFF and 8-bit CF8 and CFA I/O ports?

(PCI '1.o'?)
Can't find any documentation otherwise on it?

Found that.

Looks like the general concept is the same. 32bit Ven/32bit dev + 8bit checksum.
But the protocol is, I guess where the devil is.

Yeah, the ISA PnP protocol requires there to be a PnP ROM that lists all the logical devices, resources beloning to them and valid settings for all of them, etc., as well as the device's name.
I've since been able to find an ES1688/968 PnP ROM listing here: https://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=%22ess0968% … 6Sdh2i-K_aK-6d4 (yes, Bing cache, because the actual site/forum in question appears to be down) and I managed to reconstruct the actual ROM based on that and an ES1868 ROM dump, but an an actual ES1688/968 ROM dump would still be appreciated.
