After much experimentation over many months I think I am about to 
admit  defeat  trying  to  get a network  card  to  work  in  the 
following  system. If anyone can suggest a way round  it,  please 
let me know:

Endeavour Socket 7

          Vibra 16      - IRQ  5
PCI 1     AHA2940       - IRQ 10
PCI 2     MGM Millenium - IRQ 11
PCI 3     empty
PCI 4     Miro DC20     - IRQ  9

ISA 1     - empty -
ISA 2     - empty -
ISA 3     - either WD8003 or DEC Etherworks/Turbo 3

COM 1,2 use  IRQs 4 and 3
LPT1    uses IRQ  7

Whatever I do, I can't get an interupt for the network card.  IRQ 
2 cascades to 9, so that conflicts with the DC20 if I try and use 
the  WD8003  (which  allows IRQ 2,3,4,5,6,7), and  whilst  I  can 
disable IRQ15 for the secondary IDE under W95 SYSTEM, the DIGITAL 
network card (which can use IRQ 5,10,11,15) just can not be given 
a spare interupt without reporting a memory problem as well).
