Hi Danleff Thanks again for all your help and suggestions. I still have not solved the problem but at least I have tried a lot. You said there was a jumper on my board to disable auto IRQ I am not sure on this. The manual I have is for the 1996 edition of the board and mine is the 1995 model which has subtle differences and I have been unable to find a copy of the 1995 one. I am hoping that there may be a way to set the IRQ via the Autoexec.bat file so I am hoping that someone out there may read this and have the answer. Otherwise I will think I will have to give up on this board. I do appreciate the time you have taken to help me Many thanks Trev |

Before you give up completely, have you tried pakt's WAKEPUP floppy? (In the ANNOUNCEMENTS category of the forum.) |

Trev, you might try using LINLD.COM on a floppy to boot your PC. LINLD.COM is a better TINY.EXE that allows the use of a separate file for parameters (I'm considering using it to improve my WAKEPUP boot disk...). Lobster has put some info in a Wiki where he describes its use (see the last entry on that page). He's using it to boot Puppy from Windows, but I had no problem using it to boot Puppy from a floppy. The interesting part is that he has a line in the parameter file to set an interrupt for a troublesome mouse. Perhaps you can use a parameter to set the IRQ this way? Good luck 
BTW, I had problems getting LINLD.COM using Lobster's link. I found it here.
