I have several 'add-on' cards in my PC (XT clone).
I'd like to add an additional card which *ONLY* supports INT 2.
however, I did not keep track as to which interrupts the other
'add-on' cards are set at.  Also, I'm lazy and I don't want to
dig thru their documentation and pull them out to see what I
set them at.

Is their an easy way to determine what interrupts (and base I/O
addresses, if possible) are already in use?

Is there some (PD) utility out there that will determine what
interrupts are in use and what are not?

Thanks.
