FWIW, RESERVE only works for ISA cards, IIRC.

True, but not all drivers share IRQ's correctly.

Note that COM? is just a logical names. OS/2 automatically assigns values
for COM1/2 if they are defined by the BIOS. The others are up for grabs.

For modern PCI hardware snoop.lst is pretty much irrelevant. The best
thing to do with it is to comment out all the entries which you know you
