I take only a small credit for my knowledge Malke, as I have had and 
still do consult the masters here quite often myself.  You gotta love 
IBM compatible x86 hardware, don't you!  This stuff is so old and 
outdated still, why in the world should we have to deal with IRQs over 
20 years after the first PC was built.  It's lunacy and should have 
been done away with as soon as Amiga came out with autoconfig zorro 
slots!

You might want to set your BIOS to PNP OS=NO and that way the bios will 
set the IRQs so that the OS doesn't have to fight them.  Then you can 
probably use them again at the same time.
