channel assignments for DMA, which allows I/O devices

to accommodate the selections you make for DMA
Resources. For example, you might have to move jumpers
or switches on the adapter, or make changes to the
software that comes with the adapter.

requests (IRQs) for an adapter. The menu lists the system
IRQs and their functions. You allocate IRQs to an adapter
by selecting the ISA Resource setting for an available IRQ.
