I eliminated that problem, so I can use the internal modem (irq 4), multiport 2 serial port (irq 3), lpt1 on multiport 
(irq 7) and/or lpt2 when floppy is not present (floppy-> irq6, lpt2-> irq5), no infrared, audio (0x200,irq10,dma1), 
Home & Away adapter in slot 2 (com 3, irq11), IBM Solid State File 5MB ATA Flash in slot 1 (sometimes irq9 or 
15).  All I did was edit the config.sys for OS/2 and add special parameters to stuff I could change.  I think you 
should also be able to do so with Windows 95 or Linux or whatever, so long as you don't have a token ring 
card.  Also, don't forget that the PS/2 mouse uses irq12 unless you disable it.
