Larry; I meant to get back to you on this earlier, but your previous 
message is still buried.

The short answer is that you can't "block" ISA interupts, so the 
problem you're seeing has to be related to how you're talking to the 
card.  The only confirmation of interrupt delivery that the card will 
ever get has to come from your code.
