Ken:
IMHO, nothing off topic about your question. In my experience, there are
4 interrupts available to the PCI bus in PCs. If you have 5 or more PCI
slots, then at least two slots have to share the same interrupt.
If you will do a "cat /proc/pci | less" or "cat /proc/pci &> filename"
you can then look at the proc filesystem's record of which inerrupt
was assigned each device and move your device to another slot until
you have a unique interrupt.
Good luck
