| 40095 | 2002-03-21 22:16:00 | I have recently built myself a computer as a project using bits from my old Cyrix 233. My Microtek scanner uses a SCSI adaptor mounted in an ISA slot.I need to know how to resolve an IRQ conflict as the scanner is trying to use IRQ9 and the computer has allocated this to FM Legacy Audio. Please Advise. | Guest (0) | ||

| 40098 | 2002-03-22 03:18:00 | I suppose the SCSI card is a simple one, provided with the scanner. If it is an full functioned SCSI, you should be able to change a jumper to alter the IRQ. If it's an Adaptec, try ctrl/A after the POST, while the Adaptec BIOS extensions are loading. That will give a setup menu. IRQ2/9 is best avoided. |
