IRQ13 isn't free, it's used by your FPU.
I assume you have COM1 and COM2 disabled.

I would go ahead and disable SB16 emulation on the sound card.
That will save an extra IRQ (9) and it is only required for MS-DOS mode.

Do you have more than 4 EIDE devices?
If not then I would disable the onboard EIDE (primary & secondary on the
mobo)
That will free up IRQ14 and IRQ15.

Actually if you have more than four but less than seven devices then I would
at least disable your secondary EIDE channel on the mobo (to free up IRQ15).

Just to make sure... I hope you don't have a second parallel port on your
system, eh?  That would also use IRQ5 even if it doesn't show in Windows.
