(859) 635-5762Thanks Aaron for responding I've been out all day just getting back in 8:30pm
eastern time. My IRQs/DMA are as follows.
0 Systems Timer
1 Standard Keyboard
2 Programmable Interrupt Controller
3 Com. Port (Com2)
4 Com. Port (Com1)
5 Ensoniq Scherzo
5 IRQs Hold for PCI Steering
6 Floppy
7 Printer LPT 1
8 System CMOS/real time clock
9 Nvidia Geforce Fx 5200
9 IRQs Hold for PCI Steering
10 Ensoniq Scherzo
10 IRQs Hold for PCI Steering
11 Ensoniq Scherzo
11 VIA Tech 3038 PCI to UBS Universal Host Controller
11 IRQs Hold for PCI Steering
12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port
13 Numeric Data Processor
14 Primary IDE Controller (Dual Fifo)
14 VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller
15 Secondary IDE Controller (Dual Fifo)
15 VID Bus Master PCI IDE Controller.
DMA
0 Free
1 Free
2 Standard Floppy
3 Free
4 Direct Memory Access Control
5/6/7 All Free
I only have very basic skills in operating the BIOS setup, but I know how
to get to everything. If anything looks out of place, please advise me on
the changes needed to be made.
I am also getting this message: "Some resources needed for this project are
not available in this configuration".
Thanks Terry T.

Just a thought. It certainly would let you stay within SX.
