IRQ
Pressing CTRL-A during POST invokes the Adaptec SCSI setup utility and displays/alters the preferred IRQ for the Dock II SCSI. However, if that IRQ is used by a ThinkPad device, no conflict is indicated. The Dock II will Plug&Play to a different, free IRQ but no notification is given to the user. It is not possible to display the ACTUAL IRQ being used by either CTRL-A nor ThinkPad Features! This can lead to all kinds of configuration conflicts and runtime problems
