It's very possible the WinXX's drivers might handle things differently.
Remember that WinXX is not fully multitasking and allows multiple drivers
to conga-line share an IRQ. The driver that doesn't have the IRQ has to
wait until the other driver is done with it. This is only an issue or ISA
cards and poorly designed PCI cards. This all will be less of an issue as
WinXX hardware and software evolves to supporting PCI and USB only.
