- I received MANY responses - all of them pleasant. The summary is given
- below in the email I sent to the responders - thanks again to them and
- usenet for helping with the problem.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Many thanks for all the responses - bottom line is use of IRQ 2 is fine
- within DOS being careful that the video card does not use it already. Within
- Windows, you should specify IRQ 9 (which BIOS will treat as if it is IRQ 2).
-
- So HARDWARE jumpers get set to IRQ 2 (not a problem on the PAS since there are
- no jumpers for the PAS portion of the card)
- DOS software gets IRQ 2
- Windows gets IRQ 9 (or for the PAS any other available high interrupt).
-
- Thanks again for the "gentle" responses - I have got everything hooked up and
- running beautifully.
-
- Now if I can only keep my hand steady with the scanner... :-)
