I have an IBM PC-AT with:

2 serial/parallel boards

and I want to use an INTERLAN NI-5010 ethernet controller.

The ethernet board can use either interrupt 3 or 5

However, interrupt 3 is used by COM2 and 5 is used by LPT2.

I only need one LPT, but I need both serial ports.  Is there a
way of:

1) Disabling the parallel portion of the second board (I have tried
   working with jumper J2, but it seems to mess up both parallel ports
   when removed, or set to LPT1).

2) Buying a board for the AT that is only a serial board.


Please send e=mail to silber@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu.  Thanks.
