I've seen this one before. It can be caused by 2 controllers using the same
interrupt. (Quick story) I purchased a used ethernet card without setup
software. When I added it to the system, I found out that it was mapped to the
same IRQ as my cdrom drive. I saw the same message as above. Win95 would not
even recognise either card or cdrom drive. Anyhow I found the setup software
and re-assigned the IRQ of the card. End of story!
