Windows 2000 and on used IRQ sharing because the OS would allow more and more hardware. There is a set number of IRQs (15 or 16).

Give an example of a controller that can manage a single IRQ for several devices?
CPU
What IRQ does COM2 use?
IRQ 3.
What IRQ does LPT1 usually use?
LTP1 should use IRQ7.
Which two IRQ settings are connected together?
IRQ Ports 2 & 9 -Taylor
What system resources does com1 use com2 com2 com3 com4?
COM1-IRQ 4, memory addresses 03F8-03FF COM2-IRQ 3, memory addresses 02F8-02FF COM3-IRQ 4, memory addresses 03E8-03EF COM4-IRQ 3, memory addresses 02E8-02EF pg. 396
How many irqs are needed for a usb hub with 3 devices?
One. A USB hub is plugged in via a USB port, that port only uses 1 IRQ. So all devices on the hub use the same IRQ. You could have a hub with 10 ports still using 1 IRQ.
How do you overcome the IRQ conflict with sound card?
You need to identify which device the sound card is conflicting with and then find out if you can change the IRQ on one of the devices. If you cannot change the IRQ for one of them, such as via a dip switch or jumper, then you will have to remove one of the devices.
If PCI attempts to use an IRQ that is used by a legacy ISA devicehow can you force PCI to IRQ?
In the context of computer systems, IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are used by hardware devices to communicate with the CPU. However, there might be instances where you'd prefer certain devices not to use IRQs. If you wish to prevent a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) device from using an IRQ, you generally have to go through the system's BIOS (Basic Input Output System) settings. The BIOS interface varies among manufacturers, but usually, you can access it by pressing a specific key (like F2, F10, or Del) during the system startup. Once in the BIOS settings, look for options related to IRQ assignments for PCI devices. This setting might be under different menus based on the specific BIOS version. Once located, you can change the IRQ settings to manual and then disable the IRQ for the specific PCI slot. Remember that changing BIOS settings should be performed with caution, as incorrect configurations can lead to system instability. Always ensure you understand what each setting does before making adjustments. Also, refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions.

List interrupts used with the IBM PC type sytems?
IRQ 0 - System timer. IRQ 1 - Keyboard. IRQ 2 - Cascaded signals from IRQs 8-15. IRQ 3 - COM2 (Default) and COM4 (User) serial ports IRQ 4 - COM1 (Default) and COM3 (User) serial ports IRQ 5 - LPT2 Parallel Port 2 or sound card IRQ 6 - Floppy disk controller IRQ 7 - LPT1 Parallel Port 1 or sound card (8-bit Sound Blaster and compatibles) IRQ 8 - Real time clock IRQ 9 - Free / Open interrupt / Available / SCSI. Any devices configured to use IRQ 2 will actually be using IRQ 9. IRQ 10 - Free IRQ 11 - Free IRQ 12 - PS/2 connector Mouse. IRQ 13 - ISA / Math Co-Processor IRQ 14 - Primary IDE. If no Primary IDE this can be changed IRQ 15 - Secondary IDE These are just a set of standard IRQs. For much more detail check our Ralf Brown's list located at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html
What does an IRQ allow interface cards to do?
IRQ or interupt request : An IRQ allows a device to request certain system resources on priority. Normally, the system allowcates the different non-competing IRQ numbers to different devices. The system allocated IRQs may some times be manually changed. However, it may lead to serious IRQ conflicts resulting in a hung operating system.
What Windows utility allows you to directly see the IRQ assignments made to devices?
Device Manager :)))
What does Windows XP configure on Plug and Play peripheral devices?
IRQ I/O address performance level
What is non plug and play device?
Non plug and play devices must have a unique irq. True or false
How do you resolve IRQ conflicts?
If you are getting an IRQ conflict after installing a new HW/SW you can see whats wrong by seeing IRQ settings of all the installed devices in the machine. To view your current IRQ (Interrupt Request) assignments in a Windows XP machine you can open Device Manager. Click on Start, click on Control Panel. -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button -> In Device Manager, select View from the toolbar and then click Resources by Type. Clicking on the Interrupt Request (IRQ) you can find IRQ settings for various devices in the computer. If you see a conflict. You can right click on that device and go to Properties. Under Resources tab you can see the IRQ settings among other properties. Here for a conflicting device you can deselect the Use Automatic Settings option. After this you can select a non-conflicting configuration from the pull down box and save by pressing OK. For some system devices the operating system may not allow you to change the settings.
What does IRQ stand for?
Abbreviation of interrupt request line, and pronounced I-R-Q. IRQs are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. When you add a new device to a PC, you sometimes need to set its IRQ number by setting a DIP switch. This specifies which interrupt line the device may use. IRQ conflicts used to be a common problem when adding expansion boards, but the Plug-and-Play specification has removed this headache in most cases.see: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/I/IRQ.html
What IRQ does COM2 use?
IRQ 3.
