   I just compared the ODM to ADF for IBM SCSI, and RS/6000 has the ability   
   to choose a number of INT, while the PS/2 ADFs totally lack INT, and   
   it's set to INT 14. There looks to be DMA settings as well.   
      
   It could be that AIX is a LOT more restrictive on adapters, and there is   
   less issues with resource conflicts.
