Using the Windows 95 Device Manager (right click on "My Computer", choose
"properties", and click on the "device manager" tab), I printed out a
"Resource Summary Report" which includes the following two items of
suspected interest (for troubleshooting a problem I'm having with a Jaz
drive):

   IRQ Usage Summary:
   ...
   11 - IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
   11 - Iomega Jaz Jet PCI SCSI Host Adapter

Question: What is the "IRQ Holder for PCI Steering"? Is it some generic
thing provided by Microsoft for handling a PCI bus, or is it something
peculiar to the Iomega SCSI adapter? What does it do?

And in any case, is it permissible that it share an IRQ with the SCSI Host
Adapter, or could this be a device conflict?
