Problems with my SCSI CDR

[spanky]

hi folks,

i recently upgraded my pc to a 750mhz duron on a epox 8k7a. after a fresh install of win98, my cdr is no longer recognized in windows. when i went to check the device manager, i notice that my scsi controller has the following issue:

This device is using an Interrupt Request (IRQ) resource that is in use by another device and cannot be shared. You must change the conflicting setting or remove the real-mode driver causing the conflict. (Code 30)

i'm not really sure what i would need to do to correct this problem. what is a real-mode driver, and how do i remove it? i went to look for the device that is sharing the irq with my scsi controller and it turns out that it is my NIC. i dunno if i can live without my NIC, since i am on cable. can someone offer me some tips or suggestions? please help

move the NIC to another pci slot on the motherboard.

Check the fine print in the manual and on the Epox site. YOu may have to abandon a PCI sot. In a recent project I had to leave #2 PCI slot empty as anything I installed would have to share an IRQ with the RAID controller MIght be as simple as moving to another PCI slot. You said SCSI CDR - check your SCSI stuff in safe mode and make sure everything is there!! Good luck
