Re: View ISA IRQ assignments in XP?

The machine tests how well two gears mesh together.
I work at the company that makes them

I fairly new to the company and the project. The PC in the machine ran
Windows 98. But now they want to move to XP. But for some reason they
refuse to upgrade to a PCI version of the encoder counter card at the
same time. So I'm picking up where other developers left off...
building and testing an XP driver to do what they want.

I've suggested that in the future it might not be worth it to use these
old ISA cards. For one... the money it is costing to get them to work
in XP is too much. Plus, they may have to pay a premium to obtain the
PCs they want with ISA slots. Legacy hardware ends up costing more.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. However, I am
fascinated that a device old enough to have ISA slots is able to
successfully run XP. Can you tell me a bit more about this machine? Many
thanks.

I am working with a PC running XP Pro that has two ISA cards in it.
The PC is integrated into an industrial machine, so it is difficult to
open.

When I look at Device Manager-->View-->Resources by Type-->IRQ, the
cards are not listed.
Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->System Tools-->System Information
does not show these cards either.

I have another PC with one ISA card in it, and it is working fine, but
it does not show up in the IRQ list.

Does anyone know how I can view which IRQs XP thinks these cards are
assigned to?
