A simple expert system could have helped to resolve those IRQ conflicts. ... The sample program is set up to allow installation of two different devices, a 'Sound Blaster' and a 'Mitsumi CD- ROM'.
This was a real blast from the past. I wonder why more systems today don't have this kind of logic solving built in. Possibly, too many complex behaviours that are not cleanly quantified.
Pepperidge Farm remembers when reasoning systems could actually reason, instead of backing out the part of the context they're told is erroneous, appending "Wait..." and then continuing to predict tokens as before.
