He sent it back to his vendor and got it exchanged there.. sorry if I made

I think it's actually a limitation in the PCI 2.1 spec..
INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD only.

PCI3 has my Hauppauge WinTV which shares with the unused HPT.
PCI4 and 5 have Voodoo2's in it so I guess I'm cheating since it doesn't
use an IRQ.

An HPT bios-less bios is on BP6 also but I think that voids your warrenty.
If you are adventurous with CBROM you can yank it out of there yourself.
