One a 386-33 machine, the IRQs are setup as the following: IRQ1 Keyboard (I think) IRQ2 [Cascade] IRQ3 COM1 IRQ4 COM2 IRQ5 Mouse (bus) IRQ6 (can't remember) IRQ7 LPT1 ... The problem is the machine has a SoundBlaster, a bus mouse, and I want to connect a parallel printer (LPT1). The I/O card manual says that LPT1 can be IRQ7 or IRQ5, but I can't seem to find out how to change the IRQ of the bus mouse even though when I type MOUSE /? it says its on IRQ5. So right now I have the SoundBlaster on IRQ7 but cannot use the parallel port 'cause it'll lock up. I could solve this if I could change the IRQ of the bus mouse to, say, IRQ10 but cannot find out how to do this. Any ideas? The video card does not have any jumpers on it so it is probably software changeable (if at all). Another solution might be to change COM1 to IRQ10 but would this be advisable? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Norm. P.S. What the heck is [Cascade]? Can I still use IRQ2 for something else, like the SoundBlaster (which again would solve this whole mess). -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Norm MacNeil Phone: (613) 763-7497 CAD Operations Fax: (613) 763-3317 Bell-Northern Research Ltd.
