Cool!  :-)

Well, if you install an interrupt and it fires more than once without
the machine getting wedged, it's probably getting cleared correctly.

That's pulled from the video resources in the ROM.  Here's the comment
from nubus.c:

/*
 * Get the resource for the first function on the card. 
 * This is assumed to be at resource ID 0x80.  If we can
 * not find this entry (as we can not on some video cards),
 * check to see if we can get a different ID from the list
 * of video resources given to us by the booter.  If that 
 * doesn't work either, take the first resource following
 * the board resource.
 */ 

I think Michael's responded to your other questions.

Cheers,
