What I (was) trying to do was resolve a conflict on a system with two soundcards and a USB MIDI interface. I could not seem to get the soundcards to take an IRQ that was not shared with either the other sound card or the USB controller. Some folks on PC digital audio workstation newsgroups seemed to think that might be a problem. I thought I might need to set the IRQs manually for the cards. But I managed to play the uninstall-remove-reinstall game such that they all are now separate from one another. I still don't know if I've solved my problem for sure...

But I'm still curious. How does one with this board set, say, Slot 2 to use IRQ 5? The other thing that's not clear is what other things are relevant -- do you tell the BIOS you don't have PnP OS? Do you also set the IRQ to Legacy ISA device? And how does Windows 98 relate to all this?

Thanks!
