Thanks a lot.
I'm reading hardly with a dictionary, I regret my poor english and
less understanding of NetBSD. The conception "interrupt" is difficult
to understand for me. My English-Japanese dictionary shows a strange
translation for "interrupt", and it makes me confused much ;)

Now I think I understand "interrupt" dimly. wait.. No, I've not yet because
I can't understand TAMA's case;

TAMA's IIci has Rudius GS/C and 2 Asante MacCon Ethernet, right?
Why do they make a conflict?

TAMA-san, make me sure what is happened on your IIci, more detail
please, thanks. (I wonder that I misunderstood your post.)


I also read Allen's page;
"Delving for Video Interrupt Information"
http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/howto/video.html

I appreciate your works.
I have a simple question. If I send Video Interrupt Information, it makes
less conflict? If all member send own card Interrupt Informations,
no more interrupt problem?
