Hello linuxers,

I've been using linux for quite some time now, but I'm not been
able to use it the right way. I've got a TMC 1680 SCSI controller
and two hdisks. Setting the IRQ at 5 gives no trouble, but
to be able to work while writing to disk, the IRQ value must
at least be 8, but selecting IRQ 10 (or something > 8) does
not work anymore.

Cat it be that the two drives are conflicting with each other.
The first is a synchronous Quantum LPS240S, the second a
Seagate ST1096N asynchonous.

The rest of my configuration:

386 25MHz Opti chipset with AMI bios
8Mb of ram and a copro
An archive tapestreamer with controller board (removing does
  not help)
Biostar VGA card (with an ACER chipset)
