The AT usually uses IRQ 5 for the Token Ring card (normally LPT2), but IRQ 5 in an XT is the Fixed Disk Adaptor IRQ. So try changing it to something like IRQ 2 (Reserved, on AT it is the slave 8259, but on XT is not used). John Stankiewicz --- * QDeLuxe 1.10 #2807 Astronauts? Cosmonauts? No! We are MicroNauts!!
