Go ahead and try the board using IRQ 5 with both LPT ports
active.  I have a similiar setup in my Novell network server, two
network boards use IRQ 3 and 5, com1 using IRQ 4, and two LPT
ports.  I haven't had any problems with the setup with everything
going at once.

I remember something about the LPT ports that they actually did
not use the hardware interrupts, but just the address lines and
registers on each LPT board.  Can someone add to this old memory?

Tim.
