No PCI card has any jumpers etc to configure particular resources. The best you can hope for is for your BIOS to force the assignment of a particular IRQ to the slot your serial card is in. However, that doesn't solve the I/O port allocation, and it doesn't work with systems that use APIC. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso@themuso.com Jabber: themuso@jabber.org.au -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGquwijVefwtBjIM4RAkmSAKDwGb7lwMrr7+RjgbYOmc9J4QScXQCfYrs4 lfibsRpAOoCdGOMueU4lmps= =0CB/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
