"As for your complaint about the SB16 ISA card, I have an old ISA NE2000, made by Realtek, that Windows will not detect period, but installs and works in Linux just fine, all I have to do is tell it what I/O it uses. It sounds to me like six of one, have a dozen of another."
Linux uses Legacy Plug and Play (APM spec) by default. Windows uses ACPI, the newer spec. If your device works in Linux and not in Windows then either your BIOS or the device is not ACPI compliant. Remember -> Windows does not detect your hardware -> the BIOS does. Windows supplies drivers based on firmware IDs by the BIOS and the device
