The floppy disk drive (FDD) commonly uses IRQ 6. This interrupt request line is designated for the floppy controller, allowing the CPU to manage data transfer between the floppy disk and the system. It's important to ensure that no other devices are using IRQ 6 to avoid conflicts.
What else can I help you with?
What IRQ does LPT1 usually use?
LTP1 should use IRQ7.
What is the IRQ for a keyboard?
IRQ 1 is used exclusively for the keyboard controller.
Which IRQ does the hard disk controller commonly us?
6
What IRQ does a monitor use?
None. Its the graphics card that uses an IRQ. The monitor is just a peripheral.
What IRQ does the system timer use?
0
What IRQ does LPT2 usually use?
5
What is fdd data cable?
FDD cable is for floppy disk drive (FDD).
Irq 6 is commonly assigned to?
it's assigned to control keyboard
Suppose you want to add a legacy sound to your system that uses IRQ 5 what if anything is currently using this resource?
IRQ 5 is normally a free interrupt unless you have a second parallel port installed. If the interrupt is currently in use by another resource, you could reassign the IRQ that one of the conflicting resources is using to a less commonly used interrupt such as 10, 11, or 12.
What system resources does COM2 use?
IRQ 3
If IRQ 2 is in use IRQ 9 cant be used?
Depends if it's sharable or not. You could try moving the card to another slot.
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
