Paul, I don't know your BIOS, but with some BIOSs there are plenty of opportunities to reclaim IRQs from unneeded devices: IRQ3 COM2 / modem / serial port / infrared IRQ4 COM1 / modem / serial port / infrared IRQ5 sound IRQ6 floppy disk controller IRQ7 LPT1 / parallel port IRQ12 PS2 mouse IRQ15 IDE2 (secondary IDE controller) IRQ3, IRQ4 and IRQ5 are obviously discretionary. IRQ7 should be possible because you can still print without an LPT IRQ. IRQ15 might not be needed unless you put a drive in your docking station. IRQ12 might be tough, but maybe with a USB mouse. IRQ6 could even be possible if you don't need a floppy.
