I just went through all this as well. The best thing to do IMHO is to 
try to find a way to manually assign IRQ in the BIOS. Also, and this is 
what I didn't see at first, some slots SHARE IRQ. Avoid this! If you are 
not using USB at all, turn it off in BIOS if possible. Tell the BIOS 
"NOT INSTALLED" for any peripherals not installed. I was able to
remove
parallel and serial interfaces as well since nothing is connect to this 
box. Here's what I have now:

   0:   27713309          XT-PIC  timer
   1:        167          XT-PIC  keyboard
   2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
   3:  277073215          XT-PIC  wctdm  <------ TDM410
   4:    1114724          XT-PIC  eth0
   7:  277082652          XT-PIC  wcfxo  <------ X100P
   8:          1          XT-PIC  rtc
   9:  277077218          XT-PIC  wcfxo  <------ X100P
  12:          0          XT-PIC  PS/2 Mouse

Thank you.  Unfortunately, I do not have * running on a box dedicated to it (for
now).
So, I do need to use USP, serial, and the printer port.

I wonder though, if my install of * works well while sharing IRQ's, is there
really
any compelling reason to get the Zap cards on their own IRQ's?
