Thanks. Tim.
Somehow this appears to have worked itself out. <knock wood>.
I ended up uninstalling the sound card and SCSI card, then re-installed the
SCSI card first, then re-installed the sound card. I still had the
conflict. Frustrated, I shut the PC down.
A few hours later, I returned and fired the PC up again and - VOILA - no
conflicts! It must have been the SCSI elves that fixed it! 8-)
So far, no crashes. (Keeping fingers crossed). I got lots of stuff sharing
IRQ 11 though -- SCSI card, Network card and secondary TV video card. Then I
have both my Voodoo5 card and the SB Live sharing IRQ 10! Who knows.......
Thanks again,
Bert
