Ask me again when you get a 390. :-)

Sounds like a defective driver to me.

Gee thanks for the lesson. The short answer is 3, 4 and 5.

The long answer is:

RMVIEW: Physical view
IRQ Level = 0 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE TIMER_CH_0
IRQ Level = 1 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE KBD_0 Keyboard
Controller
IRQ Level = 2 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE PIC_1
IRQ Level = 3 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE SERIAL_0 Serial Port
Controller
IRQ Level = 4 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = MULTIPLEXED SIO - Serial Port(s)
IRQ Level = 5 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = MULTIPLEXED SIO - Serial Port(s)
IRQ Level = 6 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = MULTIPLEXED FLOPPY_0 Floppy
Controller
IRQ Level = 7 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = MULTIPLEXED PARALLEL_0 Parallel
Port Adapter
IRQ Level = 8 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE RTC
IRQ Level = 10 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = MULTIPLEXED Sound Blaster AWE32
Device Driver
IRQ Level = 14 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = SHARED AIC7870_0 Adaptec
AIC7870

However, it is missing the TekRAM and I never bothered to figure out why.

ScanPCI reports 9 and 15 are used by:

LSI Logic (Symbios/NCR)

You might notice that ScanPCI claims that the TekRAM is not a TekRAM 390.
Well, it lies. It's a 390U reserved for my narrow devices (sorta, but
that's a different story).
