Windows system
A device conflict under Windows

used I/O port addresses and IRQ
values.
If there is a device conflict, select
alternative settings for I/O Base Address
or IRQ values. If you know which device
is conflicting with the PC Card, you have
the option of changing that device’s I/O
address or IRQ instead of changing the PC
Card.
