Actually I had it reversed.  It is the irq9 that works and irq5 that
doesn't.

How do I hardwire the irq?  I tried just adding an irq 9 phrase to the ep
config line but it didn't seem to have any effect.  I can't find any man
page that talks about this.

If anyone wants to see my config and dmesg outputs you can view them
at ftp://ftp.vex.net/users/darcy.
