- I want to add another parallel port to each of a couple of [3,4]86's
- that already have COM1, COM2 and LPT1 in use, and have IRQ5 (normally
- reserved for LPT2) in use by another device. One of them also has
- another device using IRQ2. (Where) can I find a parallel port card
- that doesn't use one of the first 8 IRQ's?
-
- In looking through Computer Shopper, I see lots of places selling
- cards with serial, parallel and game ports on the same card. Are
- these intended for folks who are rolling their own system from
- scratch, or can I use one of these cards to add several more ports
- while I'm at it?
