If you look at the daisy chaining diagram, -a card in slot4, issuing INTA IRQ, it will end up as a signal on PIRQ2 of +a card in slot4, issuing INTA IRQ, it will end up as a signal on PIRQ4 of the PCI chipset. Most cards issue INTA, this creates optimal distribution between the PIRQ lines. (distributing IRQ sources properly is not a necessity, PCI IRQs can be shared at will, but it's a good for performance
