Hello:
I want to setup a "UMAX ASTRA 1200S SCANNER" on my system.
I must first insert a "SCSI INTERFACE CARD" into a 16-bit ISA SLOT on my motherboard.
I have 3-ISA SLOTS, with a "56K Modem Card" on the bottom-most slot (allowing more space between my PCI SLOTS for air-cooling).
PROBLEM:
I do not have any IRQs that are unused !!
IRQ USAGE:
00 - System Timer
01 - Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard
02 - Programmable Interrupt Controller
03 - 56000 BPS PnP Internal Modem
04 - Communications Port (COM1)
05 - IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
05 - ENSONIQ AudioPCI
06 - Standard Floppy Disk Controller
07 - ECP Printer Port (LPT1)
08 - System CMOS/Real Time Clock
09 - ENSONIQ AudioPCI LEGACY Device
10 - Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
10 - IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
11 - IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
*11 - IRQ Holder for PCI Steering ( *11 shows only in IRQ printout )
11 - RAGE PRO TURBO AGP 2X
12 - Standard PS/2 Port Mouse
13 - Numeric Data Processor
14 - Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
14 - Primary IDE Controller (dual fifo)
15 - Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
15 - Secondary IDE Controller (dual fifo)
QUESTION:
Since I don't use DOS to play games, I am wondering if there is someway to DISABLE/REMOVE "Ensoniq AudioPCI Legacy Device" and use IRQ 9 for my SCANNER ?????
Will this affect my SOUND when using Win98SE for games, etc. ???
THANK YOU for any help, info or guidance.
