Pardon the inexpert suggestions but I'd try ensuring the card gets it's own irq. Sometimes you can do this just by changing settings in the motherboard bios, sometimes you actually have to move the card around to some other slot. Sometimes you have to shuffle all the cards around to get a working arrangement. You might also try disabling all usb support in the bios AND in osr5 via boot: defbootstr disable=usb. That might free up an irq, or might not depending on the motherboard. It might at least cause something necessary like the built-in nic to share with fewer other devices at least.

Thanks, I have changes things all around, to get this far. The machine uses a USB Key Board and mouse. Using PS/2 Key Board and mouse disabling USB cause other issues. I have run out of BIOS setting to try. Swapping ports did not buy me anything as then I have to manually binary edit the application to get the PCI parallel port to work with the dongle. (Which I have done several times.) The user SW requires a parallel port HW Key. The IO changes and then I have to binary edit the SW files. I have it down pretty well though.

I have been successful in getting the warning to move locations, along with other settings, but it is always there. One move makes the printing out the parallel port work, but then something else becomes slow or non functional. Some settings cause the machine to spontaneous reboot at the boot prompt. ACPI=X in the /etc/default/boot does not seem to matter. OpenServer 6 does not have the problem, but then the user SW will not work as it requires the HW driver that only works on OpenServer 5.0.7...

You might say I turned to ask here after running out of ideas to try.

These TA's gave me more ideas,

and

http://www.sco.com/ta/107204

Which got me to this configuration and this warning. I agree it is an IRQ conflict. I wish the Intel MB had a few more slots as that would give me more room to play. I guess this card is a lot like the needle to the camels back saying. It puts things just barely over the top. Adding and removing a floppy just changes the warning to a different location as does the various BIOS settings. Well, I am now back to the same location and message, which seems to have the best performance with this mixture of SW and HW. There has to be an other setting, I just can not seem to find it.

I was hoping for a magical Boot String to OpenServer 5.0.7 that I did not know. Trying various other SCSI cards does not seem to help with the situation. In some cases it makes things worse. This whole mess really dislikes the Adaptec 320 card. It seems to like a card that uses the alad driver the best.

This is my current hwconfig.

and it puts the parallel port IO back where it was when I first started at 2068.

Thanks for the ideas. Anyone have any others?
