Avoiding Interrupt Assignment Conflicts
Problems can arise if two devices attempt to use the same interrupt request (IRQ) line. To avoid this type of conflict, check the documentation for
the default IRQ line setting for each installed device. Then consult
NOTES: Installed devices cannot share the same COM port address. The default address of your computer's serial port is COM1.
To view IRQ line assignments in the Microsoft® Windows® 98 operating system, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click
Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. Select the Device Manager tab, and then double-click Computer.
