- Hello all, I have a 486/50eisa, am running OS/2, and have tons of cards
- in my machine, including a v.32bis faxmodem, a 2s/1p/1g/2ide multi I/O
- card, a Gravis Ultrasound, a SCSI card, a eisa IDE card and an eisa
- video card. My question is this:
-
- I have seen numerous references to some techinique by which people modify
- their cards (or their motherboard?) to force it to use a different IRQ.
- Presently, I have one of my COM ports disabled since my modem insists on
- being either IRQ3 or IRQ4, and my piece of junk multi I/O card insists on
- the same. What I want to do is somehow rig the modem to be on IRQ2 or on
- one of the IRQs between 10 and 15.
-
- Can someone send me detailed instructions on how to do this, please?
-
- Much obliged...
