mr mark, don't know about IRQ conflicts, but would think as long as the apps using the same IRQ don't run at the same time it should be OK. But that's just my thinking - which has been dangerous in the past. Gottfried

Hi Mark, PCI interrupts are completely sharable under the current version of ACPI. However, non-PCI IRQ's (such as the serial and parallel ports) are not. Since the System information program is not really a dynamic diagnostic tool I think Microsoft has it display any shared IRQ's as potential conflicts. It's still the same on my one week old DELL with Win2k and 9 devices on IRQ 9 showing as conflicts. Best, Steve
