Oh, yeah. "PnP" for Unibus/Qbus? Yes there are. I think "PnP" for the PC 
is mostly bollocks. Sounds good, but not that impressive in reality anyway.
Anyway, yes. If you start reading through the specs for Unibus address 
assignments, you'll find that there are rules to it, and if you follow 
those rules, you can autodetect all devices on the Unibus.
