IRQ 2 question?

rjpear

I was wondering...Can you actually assign IRQ 2 on a modern era (AT+ ) computer? Or it it reserved for the Bridge to the Upper IRQ's and the device would actually be IRQ 9?
If you tried to force it..Like an old non-PNP card where you use DIPS to change the card stuff... would you crash the machine or lock it up (or maybe the device just wouldn't be recognised)?

Thanks for your time..

If you set the modem for IRQ 2 then I guess you're tricking it into using IRQ 9?
