Well setting the Software IRQ from DOS worked as long as I didn't booted WIN95, after I booted Win95 the card forgot it's IRQ, and nither Linux nor Win95 could use it. So, I had a choice Win95 or Linux, well I took a good old jumper setable card from one of the the other computers at the office and put the wonder card in a Win95 box. In all my communications with dealers from that day on, if it's not PCI, it must not be PnP!!
