I presume this is your system? How do you STOP the MGM from grabbing IRQ 11?

Hi David.

I am not familiar with the Endeavour motherboard but I guess that LPT1
is on the motherboard itself, so if you've not already tried it, I think
that IRQ 7 may be used providing LPT1 is setup as a standard port and
not as an extended capabilities port in the CMOS setup.
