- In trying to set up an AT&T 6386 to run WINTCP/386, I seem to be out
- of IRQ's. I have a PC Starlan NAU already at IRQ2, cartridge tape
- drive at IRQ5, and IRQ6 seems to be used by kd driver (keyboard) and
- LPD has IRQ7. The Starlan-10 NAU I want to use for tcp uses on
- 2,3,4,5,7 as does the Starlan NAU.
- IRQ3 and IRQ4 seem to be assigned to asy driver, I guess to control
- the remote boot feature. This seems a high price to pay, unless I
- can find an NAU with IRQ10 or some further flexibility.
- Am I understanding this correctly? Is there any way to get rid of
- the asy 'feature', or to free up at least one of the IRQ's?
- Thanks for any help.
