# actually 0x340 will interfere with many SCSI cards.

It did not object to using IRQ 7. Many network cards only
use the IRQ to initialize the card and many printing jobs do not use the
IRQ at all so the dual use will co-exist!
Interrupts in that range are a complete
who knows in that range and has no specific purposes. Interrupt 7 is
parallel
of course so not usually a good idea.

Modules are a better solution and doesn't require constant reboots to
try settings.
