Welp, You would probably get better responces with each question
in a different posting..

I'll try to answer the ones I can..

What else is using IRQ5. A network card or modem maybe??

I *Belive* (I don't use 3com products) that you have to use a
dos based utility.. Something like 3comcfg.exe
(3comcfg.exe is a guess)

I couldn't get ft to work in that setup, I wound up having to add
a second floppy.. I must admit, I didn't try to hard either!

My relevant section:
controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk  fd0 at fdc0 drive 0
disk  fd1 at fdc0 drive 1
tape  ft0 at fdc0 drive 2

If that peticular tape drive is supported I have no idea!

-Enjoy
