I agree. And one day I am going to move as much to SCSI as I can. When
I can afford it. But in the meantime, it mostly works without too much
hassle. Now that I've worked out that I _can_ set up serial terminals
and I am discovering how useful they are (and fun), now is the first
time that I am inconvenienced by the IRQ problem. So I'm thinking of
doing something about it. And an intelligent serial card looks to me
like the first step. What do you reckon?

Yup. Already do this. The Soundblaster shares with the tape backuip
card and they work okay together.
