Dear Maintainer,
here are some notes and editorial fixes for the manual
The patch is in the attachment.
-.-
The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:
nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
diff -u <out1> <out2>
and for groff, using
"printf '%s\n%s\n' '.kern 0' '.ss 12 0' | groff -man -Z - "
instead of "nroff -man"
Add the option "-t", if the file contains a table.
Read the output of "diff -u" with "less -R" or similar.

If "man" (man-db) is used to check the manual for warnings,
the following must be set:
The option "-warnings=w"
The environmental variable:
export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)
or
(produce only warnings):
export MANROFFOPT="-ww -z"
export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)

Use a macro to change to the italic font, instead of \fI, if
possible (see man-pages(7)).
The macros have the italic corrections, but "\c" removes the "\/" part,
which is in the macro.
So "\/" must be added between the italic argument and the "\c" string.
Or
add the italic corrections.

48:ISA address of the address register for the chip to probe; \fIdatareg\fR
55:The \fIaddress\fR and \fIvalue\fR parameters are two integers between
56:0x00 and 0xFF. isaset will write value \fIvalue\fR to address \fIaddress\fR.

Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a minus (\-), if in front of a
name for an option.

Wrong distance between sentences.
Separate the sentences and subordinate clauses; each begins on a new
line. See man-pages(7) ("Conventions for source file layout") and
"info groff" ("Input Conventions").
The best procedure is to always start a new sentence on a new line,
at least, if you are typing on a computer.
Remember coding: Only one command ("sentence") on each (logical) line.
E-mail: Easier to quote exactly the relevant lines.
Generally: Easier to edit the sentence.
Patches: Less unaffected text.
Search for two adjacent words is easier, when they belong to the same line,
and the same phrase.
The amount of space between sentences in the output can then be
controlled with the ".ss" request.
35:Disable interactive mode. By default, isaset will wait for a confirmation
36:from the user before messing with the ISA bus. When this flag is used, it
37:will perform the operation directly. This is mainly meant to be used in

64:the sum of the chip's base address and the chip register's address. isaset
