Greetings,
I have been having a hard time installing a pcmcia network card (no name) into a laptop at work
so that the computer can access our antique Banyan vines system..
The laptop is a Sager 200Mhz with 32 meg of ram.  The OS is win95b.
What ends up happening is that the network card gets installed and immediately conflicts with
all sorts of stuff.  The weirdest thing is that IRQs 9, 10, & 11 show up as reserved for PCI steering.

I guess my real question revolves around PCI steering.  I was under the impression that PCI steering
only took up one IRQ and multiple modern devices could use it.  Does anybody have any ideas about
PCI steering or the multiple IRQ conflicts in this case?

Thanks
Bill Rysanek
