Probably, I will fix this.

Why should I not use the IRQ parameter?  It is an isa card with jumpers 
for IRQ and io.  Will linux find it automatically?  Will it find io 
automatically?  I think I have to first either use a scsi kernel such as 
zipslack.s or insmod sr_mod scsi_mod and sg (without parameters).

For sb.o I had to specify both of these and it was even pnp.

Thanks, that worked.  cat /proc/interrupts shows that IRQ10 is also free 
now.

I will stick the card in the 'new' computer along with the kernel and 
modules and try it with and without irq specified.  Then maybe recycle it.
