    Hi All,

    thanks for the quick responses!

    nope. Only two cards show up:

    I always managed to get around IRQ problems so far by changing settings in the
    Bios, deactivating not needed components of the PC, etc. but this one really
    confuses me.

    My guess is that the entries none2 through none5 are the ports that I am looking
    for - I just have no clue on how to activate them.

    Maybe I should set up another PC and put the card there. IŽd prefer having them
    all in one box due to managability issues though.

    Any other hint for me?
