Yeah, kinda pissed me off. I think I could put some screws down and get
what I need.

Yeah, I forgot about that. IRQ 9 works, but only sort of. I think there's
a conflict, it misses key strokes. 

So I booted the old kernel. The one with PAO stuff in it. It's also the
one that only slot 0 works. 

Guess what. Both cards work, but only in slot 0, of course. I'm going to
live with that until an upgrade is due (2.2.5 I guess). 

Thanks for your help, Mike.


Paul.
