Actually, I saw that, but ran the program anyway. It even says in the
setup program that DOOM doesn't support an IRQ above 9.

HOWEVER, I told it to use Interrupt 5 (thinking I'd change my card when I
shut down). The game then automatically started from the Setup program,
and it worked! All the digitized sounds worked fine, even though I was using
the "unsupported" interrupt 10.

The other problem I had was with the joystick. I just disabled it and
everything is fine.

Thanks,
