My system is an 386 with 387 at 25Mhz 8Mb (Chicony Board) and Xenix 2.3.3
IRQ 3 : Microsoft Mouse
IRQ 4 : AST 4-Port Card
IRQ 5 : Wangtec 150Mb Streamer Adapter (0x300)
IRQ 6 : reserved for floppy drives
IRQ 7 : parallel Port

I wanted to add an WD8003 with IRQ 2 and Base-Adress 0x280 or 0x300 or
0x380 - but none of them work correctly - the system showed the wd-card
at IRQ 31, but ping, ftp,.. won`t work ....
Now I removed the parallel port and set the Streamer to IRQ7 and the
WD8003 at IRQ 5 with base-Adress 0x280 - now it works - but I need my
parallel Port ... and some very strange things happen whith CTS/RTS and
the AST-Card ... (as RTS/CTS is only possible with the FAS-driver I
use it ..)
Is there a possibility to set two of these boards to one IRQ or to set
one of these cards to IRQ2 (The streamer won`t work at IRQ2, too) ???

  Ciao
