When you say this, have you tried writing a 0 to it?

Also, how about this snippet:

ADAPTER INTERRUPT ENABLE 
       For PC System with PC I/O Bus: An I/O Write (OUT instruction) to X'0A23' (adapter 0) or X'0A27' (adapter 1) resets
       and re-enables the adapter interrupt generation circuitry. An I/O read to this address is reserved. 

Apart from that, I would be asking IBM for help...
