• Both ISA and PCI expansion cards require IRQs. System IRQs are avail-
able to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first and then any remain-
ing IRQs are available to PCI cards. Currently, there are two types of ISA
cards.
• The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as "Legacy" ISA
card, requires you to configure the card's jumpers manually and then in-
stall it in any available slot on the ISA bus. To see a map of your used and
free IRQs in Windows 98, please click the My Computer
system, in which you can see the Device Manager tab. Double click on a
specific hardware device to display the Resources tab which shows the In-
terrupt number and address. Double-Clicking the first option Computers of
the Device Manager screen to see all the interrupts and addresses for your
system. Make sure that ISA devices should not share IRQ with other devices;
otherwise your computer will get into trouble when those two devices are
used at the same time.
