so i can just connect this card, and run the p&p wizard,and windows will automatically assign it an irq that's already being used by three other devices and make my mouse stop working? neatos

A couple months ago I threw away like 6 or 7 analog cd-audio cables when I was cleaning my junk closet. XP was pretty astonishing as you didn't need the analog or spdif cable between sound card and cd-rom drive. I still use Audigy 2 on my desktop -- resampled 48 kHz just sounds better.

Windows 95 had no IRQ steering, so it was as bad as DOS with resource allocation Thankfully Win 98 had IRQ steering and allowed multiple devices to hang off the same IRQ port.

MALE SHOEGAZE posted:seems like a bad way to design things im0o It still works that way because peripherals need a way to get attention from the host, they just use an APIC instead of having everything set in hardware to use a certain IRQ. hit a key? Interrupt. Drag your mouse? Interrupt. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt_request

MALE SHOEGAZE posted:seems like a bad way to design things im0o it is good as long as either the user or the OS was completely in control of them if i set blaster=A220 I5 D7 then that card's on IRQ5 and if something else conflicts it's my own fault for assigning interrupts without reading autoexec.bat and config.sys to find out which resources are already taken win95 would create braindead conflicts that you had to manually resolve by pawing through device manager to find out which two devices were sharing resources and separate them yourself and then blindly trust that it'd magically get everything else right

also keep in mind that irqs 1-4 couldn't be assigned to PCI/ISA bus on a lot of boards at the time. so you really didn't have that many.

and also those long flimsy cables that connected the cd to the sound card so you could play audio CDs what i don't remember is having to update my drivers every twenty minutes. poo poo either worked or it didn't.

devices could share irqs if properly mediated by the OS and most devices were perfectly cool with that idea, but any ISA hardware would absolutely refuse to play nice so you had to go into the bios and manually reserve commonly-used irqs for your old cards to keep windows from trying to share or give them to other things. irq6 might be free but if your card can only do 2, 5, 7 or 10 that's not gonna help e: i don't remember the specifics of how the win95 device manager worked but i remember some misery with desirable irqs not being selectable or something like that flakeloaf fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Nov 7, 2014 |
