I was trying to nstall a netgear card in this machine in the last few months and then this error started showing up in the boot sequence 'IO Device irq conflict" and then you are given the option to hit F1 to resume. I removed the netgear card and drivers and even reloaded the OP sys but the error still shows at boot up. I have even removed all isa cards, and unplugged the ide cables to locate this error, but it is still there even without an ops sys installed or ide cables connected...any thoughts? thanks mc
