Sure sounds like an IRQ conflict there... isn't IRQ 11 where the
harddrive controller lives? (in the OLD days, I know <chuckles>)
Can you get it to IRQ 7 where soundcards are usually are found? If your
board is old enough, you could enable that pluginplay business from the
services menu. Someone help me here... I can't remember just what the
heck has to be turned on for pluginplay. FC3 and 4 used it and I beleive
that FC5 doesn't? I'm sure someone will pick up on this and give you the
absolute correct intelligent reply. At 56 my brain is like a dry sponge.
