I can't disable the Western Digital 1MB VGA card's IRQ9 as I don't know
what the 5 DIP switches on the back of the card (beneath the VGA socket)
do. The tip about the midi interface is much appreciated, I'll go and 
make that 'available'. 

I'm still having these problems with the system bleeping sometimes when
I have messed around inside it for a while. 

Reason for the ISA card at the moment is I am short of PCIs. I was defrauded
of 950 pounds on the net just before xmas. That was partially for 2
Matrox Milleniums for the Endeavour based systems. However, the problem
I describe above happens with VGA cards in the ISA *or* the PCI slots,
so it's something to do with the board or case I think. I know I'm not
alone with this problem...

It's a high quality board, I'm beginning to wonder about the case....
