Don't do this - it's evil! Yep, it was still using IRQ7. Rod says: > If your card has a jumper on it to select IRQ5 or IRQ7, simple remove > the jumper and this should eliminate the driving conflict. OK, I traced wires and removed this jumper, and even hacked the lpa driver back in and I'm still losing characters with either lpa0 or lpt0/interruptless. Is this really soggy and hard to light in 1.1.5.1, or do I need to get a new serial/parallel card? Tomorrow I'm going to start tracing wires and trying to figure out how to disable COM2 (my Amiga) and put the sound card on IRQ3. I was hoping to get this done before my wife got back from her convention. She doesn't like me rebooting from underneath her.... On the plus side I've got a nifty TK wrapper for tracker (in ports) if anyone's interested... lets you save comments on each file and build a playlist.
