    Never really paid much attention to IRQs on this PC, but did some poking around and here's the table from system info

    System Information report written at: 03/19/2004 04:45:45 AM
    [IRQs]

    IRQ Number Device
    128 NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
    5 YAMAHA OPL3-SAx WDM Driver
    14 Primary IDE Channel
    15 Secondary IDE Channel
    31 Standard Universal PCI to USB Host Controller
    44 Adaptec AIC-7880 PCI SCSI Controller
    72 Dazzle DVC II PCI Device
    76 3Com officeconnect NIC (3CSOHO100-TX)
    1 PC/AT Enhanced PS/2 Keyboard (101/102-Key)
    6 Standard floppy disk controller
    8 System CMOS/real time clock
    13 Numeric data processor
    12 Microsoft PS/2 Mouse


    128?
    72?
    76?


    Anyone ever seen IRQs like that?

    It's a Soyo dual board with Windows 2KPro.

    Absolutely the strangest thing I've seen in a while. everyting I was ever taught led me to believe that 0 - 15 were the IRQ numbers and although they are shareable and re-mapable, that's it. Been doing this since the first IBM PC and have never seen a number higher.

    Only thing I can think of is that these are really shared or re-mapped and Soyo has the bios customized to "translate" the "new numbers" to existing 0 - 15 IRQs.

    I fixed it.

    I had MPS 1.4 enabled in the bios, which is suposed to be better for SMP systems, especially Windows 2000. Changed it to 1.1 and all is normal.

    I can't believe the system even booted with an IRQ table like that. 2KPro should of freaked when it tried to process it, but its ran just fine for past 8 or so months.
