- NOTE: On an AT, interrupt 2 is not accessible from the I/O bus, as it
- connects to the cascading interrupt controller that provides interrupts 8
- through 15. The I/O line associated with IRQ2 on an XT is connected to IRQ9
- on an AT; make sure that your driver knows this.
-
- Also, is you plan to use IRQ2/9 for anything other than video, you'll have
- to disable your video card's access to that line. On a Trident card, that's a
- jumper; on other cards, I don't know...
-
- WARNING: Some software *needs* the video card to use IRQ9. I don't know
- for sure, but ODT *might*. Anyone know for sure?
