What is the standard IRQ assignment for COM2?

• IRQ 0
• IRQ 7
• IRQ 4
• IRQ 3

EXPLANATION

An IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) is a physical connection on the motherboard through which a piece of hardware communicates with the CPU and the OS; the CPU responds through an I/O (input/output) memory address. The so-called Standard IRQ assignments date back to the early days of DOS and Windows 3.x.
In the bad old days, IRQs had to be assigned manually, either by means of physical switches, jumpers, or with software. Even now, you may occasionally have to assign an IRQ manually, although it doesn't happen often. Also, newer computers have more than 16 IRQs and the hardware and software can share IRQs without fighting. Usually.
