I seem to remember that if a IRQ was specified, it would assume that this refered to the hardwired default value on the card, and not the software configured value. Can anybody fill me in on what the trick was? (I'm using 2.0.5 by the way, but I don't imagine much has changed in this particular area since then.) Thanks Mark Cammidge
