That's probably why. You don't want it to use IRQ 7 unless you have
disabled the parallel port in the BIOS. That normally runs on IRQ 7.
As for the Win98 question, I have no personal knowledge as I've never been
a Windows user.
It seems to me the larger problem here is a system with so much stuff that
you've run out of IRQs. Might I recommend SCSI instead of two IDE chains?
