setting IRQs

How do you guys sets the same IRQ for all your SCOPE boards? I´m using a LUNA II and PULSAR I together and I can´t set the same IRQ for both.

My windows XP is already at standard PC mode, and I´m trying to change IRQs throught BIOS. I set whatever IRQ I want for both cards, but only one card configuration changes in windows, the other remain on shared system IRQs, like 9, 10 and 11.

My mother board is a Intel D865PERL.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

you will have to physically relocate the cards to other PCI slots. Sometimes the manual of your motherboard specifies which slots are assigned which irq's.
Also, make sure you turn off any unwanted features on your motherboard in the bios (onboard soundcard, parralel- and comports, possibly USB or network if you don't need those) to free up as many irq's as possible.
