Hmm. I don't know what happen - must have gotten a little careless with my
piping. I've done it a little more carefully this time. The zip file contains
the CONFIG.SYS as well as the following probe files:

probe1.log contains the output of: pci -S
probe2.log contains the output of: pci -P -T -B -D -R
probe3.log contains the output of: show_pir
probe4.log contains the output of: show_lnk
probe5.log contains the output of: rmview /irq

Probably the last time I had to worry about IRQs and netcards was when I was
futzing around with ISA cards.
