I have a MOBO (unknown Manufacturer)made in 1994 with AWARD BIOS (2A59CR0A). It has PnP support. I succesfully formatted HDs, and installed OS (Windows95 ver.a).
I started with installing my little ole SiS video accelerator (PCI, 2MB, 2D, w/ PnP support), and it works good.<--- Dont use any IRQ. I used drivers from manufacturer.
I then installed my ZOOM 56k Dual Mode modem. It is ISA with PnP supported. <---It took IRQ5 for itself. I used drivers from manufacturer.
All is well at this point!
Then I powered down and installed the following Sound Card.
Reveal SC400R4<----Sticker on Chipset
( Aztech set )
My computer DIDNT detect on the boot! BUT....
When I performed an "Add Hardware" in w95
It identified the unit as the following:
Aztech Sound Galaxy Washington 16.
This is an ISA card made in 1994. I assume its NOT a PnP card because it want found on boot up. Is that right?
I D/Ld Reveal sc400r4 drivers from Windrivers and used them when prompted.
I rebooted and to my delight heard the pretty sounds of windows starting.
In fact the card seems to work great
However.. This Turkey is wanting to use 3 differnt IRQs 5, 9, & 11.
So apparently it "kicked the modem off IRQ5"
I think it was given IRQ4<--- printer port.
Now the PnP modem cant find a new home?
The only IRQ I have left is 10 but I cant change the settings in Windows...It wont let me manually change settings.
I tried to Fiddle with the IRQ/PCI settings in BIOS to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
If the answer is too long....POINT me to a good trouble shooting quide please!!!
