Whenever you have a hardware resource conflict, it will more likely be an IRQ conflict rather than an i/o conflict because:

  • A.there are a lot more I/O addresses than IRQs.
  • B.the BIOS sometimes has more of a problem controlling IRQs
  • C.I/O addresses cannot conflict
  • D.software tends to correct I/O conflicts

Answer: A

Correct answer: there are a lot more I/O addresses than IRQs.

A PC has hundreds of free I/O addresses but only sixteen interrupt lines, several of them already taken by the keyboard, timer, floppy and disk controllers. Scarcity is what makes IRQ clashes the common case.
