Subject: RE: IRQ's From: "Juha Saarinen" <juha_saarinen@email.msn.com> Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 20:09:48 +1300 %-> somebody told me irq 9 is the worse to get shared (especially %-> between 5 devices !). Ouais, c'est vrai! IRQ 9 is not only a cascaded interrupt, it's also used by the power management (ACPI) on modern computers. In reality though, I've only had problems with ISA PnP cards going on IRQ 9. ===
