Can the U
P0/E
PCI card share an interrupt with another
PC card (shared interrupts)?
With the U
P0/E
PCI card drivers, it is possible for the card to share
an interrupt with another card.
Nevertheless, this may result in conflicts if the U
P0/E
PCI card
shares an interrupt with another PCI card because there is no inter-
national standard for shared interrupts.
If you have installed another PCI card in your system that does not
support shared interrupts, ask the card manufacturer for a driver
that permits shared interrupts or assign the card a different inter-
rupt.
You may also have problems under Windows 95/98 if two cards at-
tempt to use the same interrupt. The system may suddenly shut
down or restart for no apparent reason. If this occurs, assign each
PCI card a separate interrupt (also see the operating instructions
from the PC manufacturer or for the motherboard).
