I think it's more a case of modern operating systems require an
IRQ to be assigned to the card so that it can interrogate it plus the
attached monitor.

I have disabled the IRQ assignment in the BIOS on some
machines and the OS doesn't seem all that bothered. '95 is the
only one that kicked up a fuss, claiming that there was a hardware
fault (or "unknown device") so I left it on for compatibility.
