given this layout I assume that irq 5 and that com port could be removed.
then free up the drivers for it and the pci-univer serial and reinstall.
should end up on irq5 as ports 3-4-5-6.
while all the manufacturers suggest that any irq will do i have found that a
free irq helps p-n-p to get it correct. You may also be able to turn off the
irq for the printer and use 7.
