Oh, wow.. That caused some flashbacks.Although, I think I usually used IRQ 5, as a lot of the other random peripherals I had assumed nothing else was using 7, so they did.

"Fond" memories of installing a new modem and finding out my CD ROM no longer worked (IRQ conflict 'twixt modem and Sound Card, and the sound card was the CD-ROM controller).
