Hey I just have the same mobo with:
64M ram
2 Pentium 200mmx
1 ne2k-pci (irq 17 IO-APIC-level)
1 bt848 (tv capture) (irq 18 IO-APIC-level)
1 aic-7880 in board not used, but i think that was (irq 19 IO-APIC-
level)
1 3c503 (irq 9 IO-APIC-edge)
1 ps/2 mouse (irq 12 IO-APIC-edge)
and finally:
1 sb32 (irq 5 IO-APIC-edge)
All working OK, I only have one pci slot free and one isa slot free.
CPU0 CPU1
0: 86006 70654 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 1419 1281 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge soundblaster
8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 0 IO-APIC-edge 3c503
12: 1277 764 IO-APIC-edge PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 0 XT-PIC fpu
14: 13934 26144 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 12 24 IO-APIC-edge ide1
17: 0 0 IO-APIC-level eth0
18: 14896 14897 IO-APIC-level bttv
19: 29 31 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx
NMI: 0
IPI: 0
The nics don't show interrupts because there was no nett trafic at
this moment in my home net, but they work ok. And the aic-78xx module
was loaded just to know what irq use.
I only have a couple of locks in X, but I should upgrade them,
because I'm using an older version from before the summer I think ;-)
