- I really don't pay that much attention to the printer interrupt (IRQ7).
- I even have another device using it. It only would make sense with
- memory-resident print programs (DOS print, background printing features,
- etc.). It's different with COM ports. Also, IRQ2 may have special uses,
- IRQ6 is for floppy-disk drives, and IRQ5 is for hard drives. Re-assignment
- of these interrups ... well... I couldn't recommend it !!!
