Your bios probably can't do it b/c it's not a plug and play bios. Win95
probably can't do it b/c it's not a plug and play card. If I'm right on
these two counts you've gotta take one of the cards out and move a
jumper around, I recommend reading whatever documentation came with your
hardware to figure out what jumper goes where and means what, try not to
change any setting aside from the IRQ if you don't need to (provided all
it needs is a new IRQ). Btw, to check what IRQ's are available in
win95: conrol panel - system - device manger - double click on computer
- whatever doesn't have an entry is free, it can be done in linux too
but I dunno how. Hope that fixes it for ya.
