2 Troubleshooting Guidelines

one of them returns TRUE (meaning that it handled the interrupt). The ISR’s responsibility is to correctly return TRUE if its device was interrupting, or FALSE if not.

4Perform Driver Workarounds. Here are some ways to work around drivers that are not behaving properly:

a Upgrade the drivers for devices sharing an IRQ with the 82350, including but not limited to, your video drivers, your LAN drivers, Agilent IDE and/or SCSI drivers, and your sound drivers.

b Try to force the Agilent driver to be installed earlier in the ISR chain.

c For Windows 98 SE, change your BIOS Installed OS setting. Try all the different values and use the one that works.

d For Windows 98 SE, make sure all devices sharing an IRQ with our card have drivers installed. Right- click My Computer and select Properties, then Device Manager. Highlight Computer and click Properties. Find the 82350 card and check that all other cards on the same IRQ have a valid driver, not the big yellow question- mark.

5Reconfigure Your PC. Configure your PC so as to not share IRQ lines. Many PCI cards have bugs when sharing IRQ lines. You may or may not be able to do this on your PC; many PCs can be configured using the setup option when the PC is first booting.
