You don't have "IRQ conflicts" just because two devices are driving the same interrupt. There are plenty of other possibilites for trouble, but having the same IRQ is not in and of itself going to do this. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
