What I've done on my 701C is to keep the audio at 7; change the MultiPort II parallel to 7; and change the diskette/parallel to 5. This allows audio applications to coexist with parallel transfers without requiring the MultiPort II to be attached. > In the system section of the control panel I saw that there > existed some more IRQ-conflicts.

Generally speaking, just making sure that each device has its own IRQ should generally work. In my case, I have a PCMCIA CDROM at 10, a PCMCIA NIC at 11, and a PCMCIA modem at 4 (COM1) because I've disabled the internal modem. The PostScript file 701_TIPS.PS [or its text version, 701_TIPS.TXT] in the "mobiles" section of the IBM PC FTP site has a section on IRQ usage which you may find helpful.
