 ones), for the drives/geometries attached to those interfaces, and for the IRQ

 Any number of interfaces may share a single IRQ if necessary, at a slight
 performance penalty, whether on separate cards or a single VLB card.
 The IDE driver automatically detects and handles this.  However, this may
