Writing an ACPI driver - an introduction Posted Dec 24, 2009 12:40 UTC (Thu) by quotemstr (subscriber, #45331) [Link] These strings use the same namespace as old ISA PNP devicesHow did that happen? It's a bit like "yeah, my car's timing pulley is actually derived from the Antikythera mechanism, so if you're a classical archaeologist, you'll be right at home fixing it."

The PNPBIOS extensions didn't just cover ISA cards but most non-PCI on-board devices. ACPI also covers those non-PCI on-board devices. So it's not entirely crazy to use the same namespace.
