Default Re: Resolving IRQ Assignment

USB is interrupt driven and the host controller has only one interupt because it is a serial bus...You need more host controllers to get more IRQS.... I suppose a separate PCMCIA card might help but them you are at the whims of the laptop and windows as to whether the IRQ used by your current host controller would be shared with the new one...It seems likely it would get a new one...
