Run a DOS configuration program to determine the IRQ on the board. Note: you may have IRQ assignments that you are not aware of: 2/15) This IRQ is frequently used by video cards for vertical retrace interrupt 3/4) These IRQ's may remain connected, even if you jumper off your serial ports in your BIOS or with motherboard jumpers 7) This is the printer IRQ. It is also the "garbage" IRQ. You should not use IRQ 7 for anything other than the printer port, an even then you can have problems if you have a "noisy" card (like a soundblaster) in your system. *) You can not share IRQ's with a device, even if it is disabled, so long as it is plugged into the bus, it will most likely drive the line low.
