Installation of Adaptec SCSI Card - Resource Conflicts

[koala15]

I am trying to install a ISA (old one) Adaptec SCSI card. Windows 98 is resporting resource conflicts during the driver installation.

Can someone assist with determining which IRQ's etc are currently being used so I can select settings that are free.

I have tried looking though all the devices (Control Panel -> System) but everything I select is being used.

Thank you.

Don't remember if 98 is the same but on 95 in device manager
you click on computer it allows you to choose to look at IRQs, IOs, DMa nad memory.
You may have to remove something to free up an IRQ for your SCSI, instal the SCSI, then reinstall whatever you pulled and let plug & pray sort it out. You may also have to force a manual selection of the IRQ.
I usually drop the sound card since sound cards are asset hogs. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
