# The keyboard (IRQ 1) is good if it used a lot.
# If the machine is networked, the ethernet card is good.
# The IRQ on an intelligent hard disk controller is good.
# The IRQ's on most sound devices are good.

# The following choices are BAD:
# THe IRQ's on COM-ports (SIO devices), the IRQ used by an IDE
# disk or CDROM, and the IRQ on the system clock.

# Experiment with the rest. The best interrupts are the ones that
# happen fairly irregularly, and never occur in very high-speed bursts.

# You'll have it right when you have a good supply of numbers from
# /dev/random, and no problems on your system, like slowdowns,
# Sluggish net/disk activity, perhaps even errors.
