Hi Edward;

When I tried what you suggested, the response was: "Device or resource
busy".  I'm beginning to think that Linux has already installed
something else on int#9?  Since my SCSI scanner card must be jumpered
for int#9 to work in Win95, is there a way in Linux to check what might
be on int#9, and then check for an open int#, and move this to the open
one, so #9 will be available for my scanner?
