I haven't seen this asked before so I'm not sure whether this is a
stupid question. I have recently installed a Wangtek PC36 controller in
my Interactive 386 system and I had to remove the lp driver to use 
interrupt 7 for the tape. This means that I can use the tape now but
not the printer. Apparently interrupt 5 is used by gendev, what is
this device and can I remove that line from the configuration file
for gendev.

I this is a common question this could be inserted in the frequently
aked list.

Thanks in advance
