Eh not all.  SOME, most maybe maybe not, thier are still some
that don't perhaps the ISA makers should make a chip set for
using the printer port "normally" and a high speed DMA chanel
also.  This would allow high speed SCSI controllers to be placed
on the port as well as other neato toys.

Before you start becoming an expert on PC hardware you should
check your facts. Point is in some circumstance you can share
interupts on the PC but these are because periferal/multi I/O
boards where designed to allow thier interupts to be shared and
has nothing to do with the PC bus.

I assure thier is no intention here to "spread lies" the fact
remains the hardware is unchanged.  Be sure you know what
hardware you are using also.  IE muli IO card.  As I said it can
be done but only on the INTRA card level not the INTER card
level.
