I have just purchased a 486-PSD-IO board with an on-board NCR810 controller.
There is a jumper that selects whether the SCSI host uses IRQ9 or 11. When
the jumper is set to 9, everything is fine. When the jumper is set to 11,
DOS runs fine but the drivers claim that it is still using IRQ9. Linux also
claims IRQ9 but then procedes to get nowhere with the controller; either
failing to recognise it spewing up lots of time-out messages. The board is
PCI. Any ideas?

Mike.
