APPENDIX B: Non-Interrupt Mode
Appendix B. Non-Interrupt Mode
The Adapter normally uses one of the PC’s Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ) for
optimum performance. However, the Adapter may be configured to operate
without using an IRQ. This non-interrupt mode is valuable for PCs that have no
free IRQs.
Depending on your Adapter Card and PC operating system, you will have different
options for configuring the interrupt mode. For more detailed information, see
the online help.
