Hi Noah,
Thanks for your help.
The jumpers on my card was set to: IRQ = 9 and port = 0x140
1) I keep IRQ 9 ( I had conflict with irq 11 ) and changed the port jumper to
0x340 ( probable I didn't need to do it )
2) I went to the BIOS to set the IRQ to "legacy ISA", as you said
3) after that, I boot the system and used the command :
insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,9,7,1
and It works very well :-D
Thanks a lot,
Adriano
