I have also observed that on my Tyan S1668 (Titan Pro, I think), the PCI
cards are assigned IRQs simply by mapping a certain IRQ to a certain slot.
It has 4 IRQs available for mapping, and 5 PCI slots. The pigeon-hole
principle tells us that there must be two slots sharing an IRQ ;-) It turns
out to be the first and last slot that share. So, on this board, if you
have less than 5 cards, you're wise not to use those slots simultaneously.
Later,
Dale
