[I assume you are talking about a Plug and play version of the card] Go to the 3com website and download the two floppies/sets of utilities for the 3c509 that should be available there. Boot a MS-DOS floppy and insert the disk. It should contain a utility that lets you configure the PNP settings of the card, and change the irq it is set to to 5 or so. Or on the other hand if the motherboard you have is PCI, try to find an option in the BIOS to select irq 10 as being ISA/legacy. That should avoid yoyr (PCI) vga card (or any other card for that matter) from being asigned IRQ 10. If you have trouble in creating the disks, let me know and I can prepare them for you. It might be an idea next time to post this to questions.
