Period. > You can share interrupts, but not use both SIMULTANEOUSLY. A very good example would be to have LPT1: and a sound card on IRQ7 (both ISA). As long as they have unique base addresses (0x378h and 0x220 for instance), both devices can coexist. You just can't use them at the same time without conflicting. Sharing IRQs is definitely not recommend, but I believe your statement may require a bit more qualifying. Kevin
