I'm really surprised that the BIOS doesn't allow you to change the PCI/ISA
selection for IRQ's. My BIOS allows me to have each IRQ/DMA assigned
either through PCI or just leave it to ISA. In this particular situation
I'd let IRQ 9 to ISA, so the BIOS would automatically assign another one
to the Adaptec. Are you really sure this is not possible in your BIOS???
